Embrace Boredom
Start taking interest in all the mundane tasks this world has to offer
Are you someone who constantly seeks entertainment and immediate gratification, or are you the one who loves to be bored often?
However, Being a boring person is quite difficult in today’s times.
When there are countless distractions competing for our attention.
Like Social Media
Video games
Netflix
YouTube & porn
And there are loads of things that hijack our attention, easily consume our time and leave us feeling drained.
As a result,
YOU hardly have time for yourself
YOU get bored in MINUTES
YOU become restless when not using your phone
So much so that you find
Doing nothing or engaging with the world less stimulating.
Because you’re habitual to
Doing things that are easy to come
Things that are fast
Things that require no time
You are so addicted to instant gratification that you no longer possess the quality of being patient.
You kick start your bike so you can reach your destination super fast.
AND you never prefer to walk as it’s a slow process & time consuming or boring.
YOU have ditched boredom since long and have embraced a world of constant entertainment.
That’s the reason You’re day STARTS and ENDS with
Binge watching Youtube & Insta Reels
Scrolling Social media
Playing video games
Hence,
YOU keep on entertaining yourself
YOU keep feeding dopamine
You keep yourself engaged round the clock
So it’s hard for you to engage in “boring” activities that are crucial for personal growth,
To succeed in life, it is important to cultivate a lifestyle that prioritizes mindful engagement with the world.
This may involve
Limiting phone and social media usage,
Reading more books,
Taking long walks,
or practicing meditation.
So change your lifestyle now.
Switch off your phone and go out
Meet the rising sun
Take a diary and pen along
Take notes
Talk to people
Engage
Observe
Experience
Start being a little boring from now.
Life isn’t solely meant for entertainment.
True fulfillment comes from the act of living and immersing oneself in variety of experiences.
