How to overcome Boredom?

Boredom is a complex process. It is a mind set where a person feels inactive, frustrated and dull.

There are lots of reasons that one might be bored. The most common one is that we have no idea what to do. Other reasons might be that we feel we can't do the things we want to do. Boredom becomes a great concern when it results in procrastination and indecision.

Here are some ways to overcome boredom:

• Do something physically or socially active. Doing some exercise can get you into a better frame of mind. Social activity (e.g. talking to someone) fulfills one of our basic human needs. Face-to-face contact is , if possible, much better than talking over the phone or facebook.
  
• Try to do something totally new and learn from it. New situations and actions will activate your brain, allowing it to exercise its learning powers.
  
• Break out of your routine, be spontaneous. Occasionally do something out of routine, like taking new routine to office.
  
• Get inspired, fire your imagination. Visualize where you want to be and what you want to become. Powerful goals keep you inspired. You can't feel bored at the same time when you are motivated to build a life.
  
• Create curiosity on what 's happening around and inside you. Find a new hobby. If you are particularly good at one skill, you could teach others to do it, and be helping others as well as avoiding boredom.
  
• Join clubs and communities. Volunteer and spend some time serving needy.
  
• Practice sports. Get your friends round and play something like a board game you haven't play within a while. Have any child like fun for a while. Mental games also help to overcome boredom.
  
• Think of the places you would like to visit and if possible visit them.
