The word "boring" has become so firmly established in people's lives that few people attach any importance to it. It is found everywhere - in statuses, in conversations, in commercials. However, boredom and boredom are different - you can start playing tic-tac-toe on the right pair at the university out of boredom, or you can also get married, get drunk or squander a fortune in a casino out of nothing to do.
Few people take seriously the claim that boredom is a diagnosis. Does the child say he is bored? Of course he's just a bummer! Not boredom, but laziness, so it's better to let him go and do his homework. In some ways, adherents of this position are undoubtedly right - most often people sit for hours on social networks, constantly updating the news, not because of spiritual emptiness. It's just that it's easier to get away from responsibilities and affairs that no longer bring joy, and this state is usually called laziness. Only now, almost no one asks why habitual actions do not bring pleasure, this is already accepted as the norm. The state of boredom, oddly enough, can be dangerous, because in order to overcome it, people sometimes do real madness. And those who do not have the courage to create them live not very cheerful lives, blaming themselves and everyone around for their spiritual dissatisfaction. But how can you fight boredom? Not that boredom that can be easily dispelled by a game of tic-tac-toe, but a deep, devouring, devastating boredom that takes hours, days, months and years of precious time? Some psychologists believe that something needs to be drastically changed in life. For example, move to another job, break off current relationships and start new ones, move to another country, etc. Of course, this is a good way - a change in living conditions always becomes a strong shake-up for a person, not allowing boredom. But what if he doesn't want to change jobs, leave his partner, or move? In this case, it's worth starting with the little things. So, boredom arises when the activity does not bring joy or is completely absent. This means that you need to look for those activities that will bring pleasure. Why not, for example, instead of aimlessly spending time on social networks, go for a run or watch a movie you loved from childhood? Why not learn how to bake cakes instead of an evening at the bar? And if boredom goes hand in hand with loneliness, why not, after all, have a cat, dog, or canary, or make new friends? Try to develop healthy and enjoyable habits. For example, smiling more often at your reflection in the mirror, having breakfast every day, or reading a good book before bed. Psychologists say that a habit can be developed in forty days of repeating the same action every day, and this is not so much. In other words, fill the time that you spend bored with activities that bring pleasure, because such things will surely be found. And if nothing comes to mind, then just do something that you have never done before - suddenly you like it. In the end, there is a wonderful saying on this score: "A wise person cannot be bored, because he has a wonderful companion - he himself."
