say bye to boredom
If activities like washing, coaking, dusting, spring cleaning, affice schedules and such thankless chores leave you extra fatigued, yau are nat alane. This is well-knawn experience af many,
warkahalics as well as the sedentary types day - in and day aut. These are the peaple who. allaw the heavy dreary routine rule them to. accupy the frant seat. Is it a prelude far warse situatians to. fallaw? Or is it a warning signal to. manage ane's life in a more systematic manner? Well knawn it is that warkahalism peaks to. reach such a psycho. phase which culminates in depressian, exhaustian, ulcers and finally baredam, what with the same place, same jabs, same enviranment, same manatany withaut challenges withaut balancing wark with same leisure. .
As it is, the technalagies have hardened life's trek and brought aur revels af talerance dawn to. rack battam.
At times, baredam can be a temporary feeling af impatience, discantentment, restlessness, salitude with nathing warthwhile to. laok farward to.. A low fatiguing feeling due to. thaughts of a tragedy gone by can trigger symptoms like back and neck pain, insufficient appetite,
weight loss, dizzy spells, trembling, headache.
with a racing pulse, insomnia resulting in irritability and paranoid behaviour. Lucky are those who sleep undisturbed. Some root causes of chronic boredom are some unexpected family events, financial failures, disturbed childhood, Parkinson's disease among senior citizens and even certain cancers.
Lethargy
I hate this word. A vacant mind becomes a devil's workshop. Which is why lack of motivation, listlessness, indecisiveness and a guilty feeling sets in especially if time hangs heavily on one's hands. Then every single chore appears insurmountable.
Other Conditions Jealousy, one-up-:-manship (to gain an edge over your neighbour), fear of aging without grace, living in the past, living in a discouraging ef.lvironment, wrong attitudes and thought processes (which never age), sapping energy, hating others (wasting life). are some factors inviting' depression and boredom. Dissatisfied and the so called unlucky people love to blame destiny for inflicting all possible ailments on them. Believe it or not: what cleanses the soul is PAIN and what toughens us is TRAUMA.
Anger
Are you a talker who jabbers endlessly but listens only selectively? You have saved yourself if you are a talker and a listener. Kindly listen to understand first and then be heard.
Ways To Combat
Sitting around the house feeling blue is.never a solution. I feEJ ther~ should never be any compromise with life on the pretext of age. Life is not a mechanical robot. Why must your-routine control you externally? Better to maintain a pleasant and practical balance of work and leisure. There are ways to sort out the perils of solitude by planning your day to move according to your agenda of activities. Neglecting your personal happiness is certainly a demotivator. A proper history of the patient, a safe best suited medication by a medical practitioner or counsellor should be assessed only if symptoms refuse to leave. Say no to sleeping tablets as they disturb normal. sleeping rhythms. Of course, support and reassurance with psychotherapy' for these mentaily tense and bored people is important.
Dress style can be changed differently. Think about a successful past achievement. Visit friends who ~atter to you. Stroll amidst greenery. 'Read by choice. Encourage any of your creativity. Indulge in gardening even if you don't possess a green thumb. Skip the rope. Swim in water. Put on the Sport-shirt. If inclined, some religious' or social activity whereby you may help. Donate (quietly). Hear light or vocal music to cleanse your soul. Even sing on the top of your voice. Why not?
Take a short trip away from home. Laugh at least as a matter of therapy. Rejuvenate yourself to play with kids. Make impulsive purchases of your favourite wares. Buy a present for yourself. Glue yourself to your TV sets for those favourite fascinating episodes and be always on the move like our dear Mumbai who hardly sleeps. .
Swear off elevators, take stairs instead. One step in the right direction is to think the following consciously. The most important experience of riune at this moment in time is 'RELAXATION'. Your mind set will thus change automatically and boredom will .be slowly kicked off. Use all affirmations. This really. works wonders. Pause and deep breathe steadily and r~ythmically. This can be an instant tranquiliser. Abdominal breathing as previously explained should be extremely useful.
stagnant mind and Meditation says "change peacefully". Experience it to believe it! If you see people around. you as special and if you wish a stranger a good happy morning, your life will face a sure change and your boredom will fly out with the wind.
A different peace and JOY can enter your hfe, antidote for stressful Doredom is to heal a
certain rejuvenation .and zest t~ough at a relaxation tape or a meditation tape. How can slow but steady pace wIll be yours If and only you generate confidence unless you become if you practise some easy and simple your own critic yogasanas and pranayamas. I call them mental dry cleaners and a complete science for Gu.ru h!erall~ means dlspeller of darknes~ . the whole personality. So take advantage but Nothing hke bemg blessed by a Guru who "':111 . do maintain a pause between postures instead ,put you to te~t but let me ~ssure you, your hfe of rushing from one asana to another because wIll have a dIfferent meanmg. the heart beats and breathing need to return to So, folks, love and be loved. NO! your world normal. Any habit sudderily changed may at is not ort the rocks.
