Bored out of your mind?
Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us.
When those long streaks of boredom hit, most people will resort to scrolling through their news feed or binge-watching TV shows.
If this sounds like you, it’s high-time to reconnect with your inner child and utilize some of those long-forgotten methods for combating boredom — games!
These activities will fuel your imagination, unlock your creativity, and significantly improve your mood.
Sometimes, the strangest things happen and make you think, “This can’t be a coincidence.”
Well, technically, it is.
But this particular coincidence feels like a message.
It feels personal, and you refuse to dismiss it as a meaningless accident.
You’re not sure what it means to listen to the universe, but you do notice things.
And lucky for you, the universe knows plenty of ways to get your attention.
That said, if you’re open to receiving messages from the universe — and you probably wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t — it helps to know what to look for.
Do you ever feel bored with life?
Most people do live rather uneventful lives for the most part.
We wake up, go to work, come home to chores and watch a little TV, go to bed, and do it all over again the next day.
These patterns become so ingrained that it’s hard to shake loose from them.
After the finishing the final season of your favorite series on Netflix, you look up from the screen and wonder if this is all there is to life.
It isn’t.
Life doesn’t have to be boring.
Yes, it’s hard to break the patterns of malaise and routine, but with a little creativity and determination, you can add more excitement and adventure to your life.
You can take action before your boredom turns to apathy and depression.
Are you looking for a women’s spiritual retreat or relaxation retreat that won’t take you too far from home?
Has it been getting harder to ignore the restlessness and agitation inside you or to sleep away the aching exhaustion that is eroding your energy and confidence day after day?
Those healing retreats you’ve seen online or in magazines sound awfully good right now.
Remember how it felt on your best days when you were twenty-five?
The world was your oyster.
You were full of energy.
You didn’t have too many responsibilities.
You were probably turning a few heads and tripping the light fantastic.
Your mojo cup was full to the brim.
How’s that cup looking now?
Are you down to the dregs?
You don’t have to be old to feel the effects of mojo depletion.
I felt it for the first time at age 32 after the birth of my first child. I was overweight, tired, milky, and my bangs had been cut way too short.
I looked like a plump squirrel and felt that life as I had known it disappeared with my 21-inch waist. My mojo was no mo’.
The word “mojo” derives from an African language and relates to magic and spells to generate luck and power.
In today’s language, the word still refers to a source of vigor, energy, sexual potency, and power.
If you are feeling depleted, overwhelmed, stressed-out, frumpy, tired, bored or lethargic, you may have lost your mojo.
Once you lose it, it is really hard to find the motivation to reclaim it. But you can’t remain in that mojo-less place for too long, or your lost mojo might mushroom into an even worse state of mind.
Unflappable inner peace.
That is such a wonderfully descriptive phrase.
We have all known people who have found internal peace. They exude an inner calm even in the most trying circumstances.
They are fully present with everyone — gentle and accepting of themselves and others. They are slow to anger.
Even their faces look serene, open, and content. When the world is storming around them, they maintain equilibrium and calm with a strong center to support them.
However, most of us have lives so over-scheduled that we are always frantic and preoccupied. It’s hard to relax or fully enjoy life with all of the distractions and upsets.
So many of us exist in a cloud of internal and external chaos.
You probably know people who are prone to creating problems and crises. They even get off on the drama in a weird, unhealthy way. But inside they feel anxious, unsettled, and rarely content.
In a culture that venerates busyness and constant stimulation, you have to make peace a priority if you want to reap the benefits.
Are you stuck on auto-pilot?
Do you cook the same dinners each night and watch the same Netflix shows over and over?
Is it becoming kind of rote and boring?
If so, it’s time for a change.
The same routine day in and day out can lead to boredom at best, or at worst, leave you worn out, drained, and unfulfilled.
While certain aspects of a routine (like good hygiene and showing up to work on time) are important, there’s no reason for your evenings and weekends to be uneventful and humdrum.
Trying new things can make you happier.
Even research bears this out, finding that novelty-seekers are generally healthier and more satisfied in life.
What do you have to lose? Take a break from the same old, same old and end boredom with this list of fun things to do at home
While splurging on new experiences and adventures can come with a daunting price tag, it doesn’t have to.
There are many fun and affordable activities you can do without leaving the comfort of your own home.
Once we accept that we don’t have all the answers, life becomes an exciting adventure of asking questions.
Curiosity allows us to open our minds to new worlds and adopt ideas that we couldn’t have conceived on our own.
For every question we have an answer to, there are thousands we don’t.
Some are profound, while others can be quite silly.
Either way, asking questions can be a great way to get to know someone, liven up a party, or lead you down a path to greater wisdom.
To help you on that journey, we’ve found over a hundred mind-boggling questions to ask yourself or someone else.
