Dragging jobs, same office gossip, closed circle of friends/colleagues, nothing new, life's getting to you, aint it ?? :-) Well, if yes, then go ahead and read a write-up, glossed with sarcasm, on a world wide crisis faced by our generation - Boredom!! ahem..and its evil twin monotony :-)
It’s brought up in many conversations ,over cup of tea with colleagues, friends, family, grrr… it’s a widespread disease now!!!!
It’s something which I would never want to understand or relate to. Strongly despise a few human traits like boredom and would quickly want to do away with them. I believe boredom is easily induced and is contagious (pun intended)through conversations. Try hanging around with someone who is constantly cribbing about boredom and monotony and you will start questioning it yourself!!!
I’d say, who’s to stop these from creeping into our lives, we ourselves. Whether it be family, workplace, relationships…no one’s spared. The best getaway from monotony is re-invention. All you need is to get a different perspective. I know, variety is the spice of life, but for the “constant” factors in our lives, the best we can do is ‘give it another dimension’.
Creation is the best ability given to a human mind, so create new habits, challenges, opportunities, ideas.
Evaluation and spontaneity should co-exist. Enjoy taking risks at times.
Change your style, wardrobe, places that you hangout, make time for things that you always wanted to do but never had the chance, expand your social circle, read up as information leads to new horizons , take a holiday with family, friends, lover, take your ‘special someone’ out on a date..probably they need a break more than you. :-)
Most of all stop repeating to yourself that you’re bored, its like inception.As Cobb puts it, "What's the most resilient parasite? An Idea." :-)
Spend some time with yourself and evaluate if there is a regular pattern which is getting to you .Breaking away from monotony isn’t too difficult, it’s just a matter of giving it a shot.
