Can you imagine a great inventor, a master musician, or an Olympian runner … complain about being bored? Are you susceptible to tedium’s emotional drain?
Research suggests that the opposite of boredom is focus, living in the moment, and finding a target to chase.
Here are 5 questions with the power to beam your brain past boredom on the job:
1. Do you run from negativity and look for more positive solutions?
2. Do you find time enough daily to do things you do well or enjoy?
3. Do you create clear expectations to get outcomes you’d value?
4. Do you transform mere routines by fueling your own curiosity?
5. Do you have identified strengths that can come to your rescue?
If you fall asleep because of boredom at college or work, you’ll be glad to know monotony’s really a matter of choice. You’ll also be glad to hear that you can add excitement and novelty to stimulate a recovery from past struggles to sustain your attention. What do you think?
