Things You Should Do When You're Bored

Is it boring to stay home all day long? Boredom can also cause you disease. Here are things that you could do to fix that problem :

• Go on a walk. Challenge yourself to leave your cell phone in your purse or pocket. Admire the view. Stop and smell the roses.
• Make something! Scour your pantry and fridge. Use the ingredients you have on hand to make a scrumptious salad. Incorporate grains, rice, herbs, greens, nuts, and cheese. Eat it for lunch tomorrow.
• Call an old friend you haven’t talked to in forever. Catch up or leave a friendly voicemail.
• Take a bubble bath. Why not? Let yourself relax!
• Write a poem. Mother’s Day will sneak back up again. Write a poem about how great your mom is, put it in a place where you won’t lose it, and present it to her next year.
• Listen to music. Put on Pharrell’s “Happy” and be happy.
• Watch cartoons. It is always okay to be a child again right?
• Look through old family photos or yearbooks. Fondly remember
• Meditate. Download a free app and follow along as you learn to be more in tune with your breathing, body, heart, and mind.

• Go to the library. Cooking, decorating, historical fiction—find a section of books that you enjoy, check out a few, and take them home to read.
• Read a book. I’m sure there is a book lying around your house that you’ve never read. Find it and read the first chapter
• Play games. Challenge your friends or bots to see who can do better.
• Go to the theater. Wondering what's in the schedule today?
• Try your hand at painting. Find a paint-by-numbers print you like, put your Picasso hat on, and start painting. When you are finished, give the painting to a family member as a gift.
• Spread some love. Go to your parents tell them you love them.
• Browse the internet. Entertaining like youtube or musics.
• Write an email to someone you admire or are proud of. Be heartfelt. Go ahead and make a friend, family member, or colleague’s day.
• Plan a party because life is too short not to plan parties. 
• Sing. Singing is always a great way to get out of boredom.
• Color. That adult coloring book you got for Christmas? Break it out and channel your inner child with markers or crayons.
• Watch TV. It’s perfectly okay to unwind in front of the television. 
• Start learning a new language. Review a couple of words per day.
• Make lists. List your goals, what you look for in a partner, dishes you want to learn how to make, clothes you’d like to buy for the spring season, places you’d like to visit, etc. Refer to these lists in the future.

• Dance. Blast your favorite song and get your groove on. If singing is more your thing, turn up your most beloved Disney classic, and belt it at the top of your lungs.
• Study a map of your neighborhood. Memorize the street names for the five blocks surrounding your house in each direction.
• Make a pros-and-cons list of having children. Take it seriously. File in a safe place. When you’re considering motherhood, pull out the list and look it over.
• Online shop. Search for that rug, mirror, shower curtain, or clock you’ve been thinking about getting for months. Search until you find the perfect one, and then order it.
• Go through the photos on your phone. Delete anything that you don’t need. Sort, using the favorite button, and make a note of the images you want to print and frame.
• Get into watching a sport. Get excited for Major League Baseball, or start following the NBA Finals.

• Get involved with sport. It's good for your health as well.
• Drink a full glass of water. Dehydration can make you sluggish. If you’re tired and bored, pour a glass of water and drink it.
• Challenge yourself. Explore new projects. Take on a new habit. Set a new goal at work. Think outside the box.
• Get a date. Remember to always find the right one.
• Write a blog. Tell people how was the trip going? 
• Prank people. Boo! jump-scares 

Hopefully, all of these can get you out of boredom and make your life much easier as well.
