Understimulated. I want you to get specific about what you're actually bored with. Just saying like, oh, I'm so bored. Feels daunting. And like some huge need. Like, oh my God, we need a solution. Like, we. Not we need to fix this. But once you actually narrow in on the area of your life that you're feeling bored about, you can literally just make a specific change. Like, are you just craving some adventure? Like, okay, see if there are any fun weekend trips that you can start taking with your friends. Do you want to be around new people? Maybe you're just like, oh, I've had the same friend group and we're all doing the same thing every fricking weekend. And it's getting like, okay, so join a different gym or join a pottery class or do something different. Do you want to feel sexier? Put on your hottest outfit, Take yourself out to a bar because you never get dressed up anymore. And you used to do it in college, but now you're always too tired after work. It's like, find just the root cause and then you can find a pretty approachable, easy solution. I promise you. So many of us get home from work and then we just spend hours and hours and hours scrolling on social media, and you are getting nothing from that. It feels momentarily like a de stressor. And like, you're relaxing and, oh my God, I'm getting to not think about work for a second. But if this is your everyday, constant routine, come home after long day of work, scroll. You're not going to feel stimulated or excited about your life. If anything, watching other people's lives is going to make you subconsciously because maybe it doesn't register because you're like, oh, I'm so relaxed. I'm just scrolling and living. And this is nice, but it actually is going to eventually make you, you just feel like about yours, right? Because then by the time that you wake up to go to work the next day, you're like, oh my God, like another day doing the same thing. And it's like, yeah, and you could have done something different last night other than scroll and get carpal tunnel. And so a lot of times the literal answer is just making the tiniest tweak. Put yourself in an uncomfortable new situation where you join the class or you go to happy hour with your co workers. Whatever it is, it can be very small, but it can make a huge difference in just breaking up mundane repetitiveness of a pattern you've slept into, which we all do. And at some point you need to take accountability. If you keep saying you're going to do it, you're going to do it, you're going to do it, and then you never do it, well, then this is no wonder you're bored.
