Getting bore all the time?

Lack of perspective, spontaneity are just some of the reasons why we feel bored, and that too, so frequently. And at the slightest provocation, we are ready with one-liners like "I am so bored" or "It's so boring". Experts say, it's best to realise that 'boredom' is a state of mind, and by giving in you are only making life more mundane. 

Here are some tips to effectively ward off boredom and stay more active

Change your attitude 

• Cribbers are the first ones to realise that they are bored. You need to change your outlook, the world is not a very sad place to live in. 
• There is always much to do and enjoy. The fact that you feel bored is because you have allowed it to creep into your life. Be ready to change gears. 
• Tell yourself that I am not going to allow this to happen to me. Just stop thinking how bored you are, instead ask yourself - let's do something." 

Organize your life 

• Stop mulling, instead put things into perspective. Chart a routine for yourself, and squeeze in some time for a recreational activity, exercising or a hobby. 
• That'll keep you happily busy. When you are too caught up in a routine due to lack of organisation, you tend to feel suffocated.

Change - a constant 

• Someone has rightly said, variety is the spice of life. It is imperative to introduce small changes to our daily lives, from the way we think, the way we dress, to changing the set up of the living room once in a while or picking up some off-beat book and reading it up. 
• The idea is to not stick to a set order, and keep experimenting. Your mind needs change to feel excited and happy. Always look for change. You can turn your routine life into an interesting one by making tiny little changes.

Be a social bunny 

• Agreed, it may not be your forte, but at least give it a shot. We don't mean you barge into others' conversations or be over-friendly. 
• Take interest in people outside your friend circle. You are sure to find a whole section of interesting ones out there! Give up all inhibitions, simply explore, talk it out, listen and absorb. And, you will never again be bored.
