Last week three people told me the same thing: they are bored! Two clients and a friend, two women and a man. Really?
A cloud of monotony, weariness and lassitude seems to hang over many people these days. Where is their energy, interest in life, excitement about learning and enthusiasm for living? I sense they are in a stuck place that develops from long commutes, endless daily chores and living up to the expectations of others. It sounds draining and it is.
Are you stuck in boredom and tediousness? Life coaching can help you discover your passion, your values and use those insights to live fully. Then the hard work comes of changing your mindset and taking action to bring some light and enthusiasm to life. Making even the smallest adjustments can add up to significant changes and gradual transformation. Once the mindset is improved, everything else will be too.
Here are some tips for those facing “boredom” with their current situation:
- Do something for someone else
- Live in the present moment, mindfully
- Start a gratitude journal
- Watch your words
- Take action with enthusiasm
- Get outside (just spending some time in nature has been scientifically shown to boost self-esteem & mood!)
- Try being more “French” for a day
- Be happy
- Exercise
- Try something totally new
- Go somewhere you’ve never been before
- Find purpose
- Set a powerful intention
- Add some play and surprise to each day
Boredom arises from routine. Joy, wonder, rapture arise from surprise. –Leo Buscaglia (1924-1998)
