Sometimes we all get in a bit of a slump in life, and that there are so few things to look forward to. And when it gets to the point that it’s your partner’s birthday and that is the most exciting time of the year, this is when you need to start thinking precisely what to do to shake your life up. We all get bored, and if you are reading this suffering from a bit of modern malaise, let’s get you up and out of this!
Play More
We get so serious as we age, but what would the eight-year-old version of you say? Sometimes we get bored with life because we just don’t have fun anymore. So go, have fun, enjoy something for once! And while it may look a bit untowards to climb in a kiddies ball pool, do something different that’s more in keeping with the social constraints of life. They are adventure holiday packages that travel firms like G Adventures provide where you can go explore mountainous regions of foreign countries and truly get to grips with what nature has in store. Doing something new and exciting is going to feed into your sense of play and fun.
What Have You Always Wanted To Do?
As adults, we build up our regrets like dust accumulates on our window sills. What have you really wanted to do in life that you never had the opportunity to do? Some people want to go see the sunrise in Shanghai, others just want to go skydiving, and others just want to go pole dancing! If you are that bored with life, there’s so much outside your dust-accumulated window that you can do, so there’s no excuse to be bored, ever!
Learn Something New
An instrument, a language, a skill… If you find yourself talking about the same old things with your friends when you go out, it’s time to make conversation a bit more interesting, but make life more interesting for you. New skills appear to be merely a resume-bolstering exercise these days, but do something for you. You get added bonus points that learning new things is the way to keep your brain young.
Laugh!
We get older, we get more serious, we display concerns about the electricity bill and the state of the world. It could be argued there’s a lot less to laugh about these days, and many would be inclined to agree with you. Instead, take the Doctor Hibbert approach and find reasons to laugh. Whether it’s something funny on Netflix, get on youtube, or even go to one of the many stand up comedy clubs near you. Laughing is good for you, it releases feel-good hormones, and if you haven’t laughed properly for a while, you will feel instantly better for it!
You’re not alone, we all feel that creeping sense of boredom in life. But it’s you that needs to do something about it, so go on an adventure, have a laugh, do what you know inherently makes you happy. Because that’s why you’re bored, it’s because you’re not happy!
