How to fight boredom at home?

Most of us are staying at home due to the pandemic and we sometimes get bored easily. Did you know that if you're bored, that means you have time to get things done and to be creative?

First, let us understand what does boredom mean?. Boredom is the state of feeling bored.

How do you know if you are bored? It’s simple. You are bored when you’re apathetic (uninterested), feeling empty, suddenly stunned, or staring into space and when you have a limited attention span.

Boredom is somewhat bad for our health because it might increase the risk of depression, anxiety, drug addiction, alcoholism, eating disorders, anger, poor social skills, and low work performance. The good news is that there are many ways to make your boredom more meaningful.

Here are some interesting and fun activities to do in fighting boredom at home:

Do house chores like doing laundry, washing dishes, feeding pets, cleaning your room or bathroom, preparing meals, or organize your home. It’s simple yet helpful to fight your boredom. Besides, it makes your day more productive.

Do exercising or practice yoga. Doing sit-ups, running, walking, or practicing yoga can lessen and fight your boredom. These activities can also help your body and mind to be healthier but of course, don’t forget to stay hydrated while you get active.

Call your friends. Exchange thoughts and sharing lives with your friend is one way to overcome your boredom since talking to your friend won’t you notice the time passing by. Besides, this can strengthen your friendship.

Discover a new skill/talent. Painting, drawing, singing, dancing, cooking are some skills that you might haven’t discovered that you are good at.

Play sports. Whether you’re a sporty person or not, playing any sports can help you to kill your boredom and makes your body and mind alive.

Do gardening.  This is one of the effective and nice ways to fight your boredom because planting can give you happiness and peace of mind.

Watch T.V. I suggest you watch your favorite comedy-drama, series or shows. This activity can upbeat your mood and exercise your facial muscles while laughing. 

Start a blog or write articles or own journals. This is one of the best interesting activities to do when you feel bored because you are too busy to think about the content of your blog and articles or listing your everyday activities. Doing these won’t you feel bored and makes you not to think about time.
