My life is boring
My life is boring what can I do? How can I have a fun and exiting life?
There are many people who complain that their life is boring and doesn’t have any excitement in it. Lora says every morning she gets up, takes a shower, eats breakfast, goes to work, and then comes home watches some television and then goes to sleep. Her life has become a routine like most people nowadays.
To have a life full of excitement, you need to have a vision and create a goal, preferably in each of the life domains. If you focus on one area and ignore the rest, then you are not leading a balanced life and that could lead to boredom in one of those areas.
My life is boring what can I do
If you want to stop having a boring life and start having an exciting life, then you need to start making some changes in regards to how you live your life.
Find a hobby
Find a hobby that you enjoy doing and incorporate it into you life. As I mentioned in my previous article “How to deal with boredom” that you have got to set goals in your life so you can have something to work for on regular basis.
When you are busy doing something you enjoy like a hobby that you are passionate about, your emotions will change and you will be so engrossed in what you are doing, hence there will be no place for boredom.
You have got to fill your time with something you are passionate about and enjoy doing. Here are a few options to consider:
- Volunteer
- Work on improving your health like joining the gym, walking, running, jogging, yoga, aerobics, or stretching.
- Have an activity like playing an instrument, singing, acting, or writing
At a time when I felt that my life is boring, I decided to set a goal that I enjoy doing in each of the life domains to make my life better, more interesting, and to stop being bored. I started taking singing lessons, reading all I can about personal development, incorporated aerobics into my life style. When I started to focus on my goals, I stopped being bored and my life became more exciting.
Meet new people
When you meet new people, you will get the chance to learn more about their culture, religion, tradition, food, music among other things.
All you have to do is get out of the house and your comfort zone and start meeting new people. This is why I love traveling as it gives me a chance to meet and experience different cultures.
Try something new
Make it a habit to try something new at least once a week. I personally have made it a habit to try a new meal almost every time I go to a restaurant. Take a different route to work, take a vacation to a different place than you are accustomed to, or learn a new language.
If you find yourself a hobby that you enjoy doing, try something new constantly and meet new people with different culture, you will stop being bored with life. You will begin to lead an exciting life filled with adventure.

I could relate to this post since there are times that I feel like I am just doing things in a routine. It is a good thing that I found some new things to do every week so that I wouldn’t feel that I am just doing work. Finding a hobby is a good advice because a lot of people could find fulfillment with their free time. I also want to try volunteering before but I couldn’t find many options for that. Thanks for sharing the interesting post.

Hi Stephan,
Finding a hobby and volunteering are two great ways to overcome boredom. When we are busy and active, we are less likely to feel bored. You could volunteer at many places like clubs, church, etc…

Dia recently posted..My life is boring
Thanks for sharing your own life experience, Dia. We can learn volumes from your action! Boredom is meant to be an inspirationally dissatisfying feeling; it is telling us that our lives could be better. Boredom can be great motivation to get us up off our duffs and make changes in our lives. Whenever feeling bored, consider the inspirationally dissatisfying feeling a gift from our creative essence. It wants to get going!

Hi Rob,
Exactly my friend, whenever we feel bored, that means there is one area of our life that needs to be addressed. It is a great motivation to improve our lives for the better. Thanks Rob
Dia recently posted..My life is boring
Hi Dia,
Great topic. I think everyone struggles with this at one time or another. I think, often when we’re in a rut, we can move some energy by just doing something, ANYTHING different. Get out of the house. Go to a hotel. Take a weekend trip. Teh change of scenery often gets the brain going in a completely different direction and opens us to insights that we couldn’t previously see. I use this technique consciously several times a year. I take little (or big) trips. Or, I’ll take my laptop and get out of the house to write, just to have different surroundings. It always helps me to see things in a slightly different way and really helps with creativity.
Thanks for the great post.
Hugs,
Meldoy

Hi Melody,
I agree with you whenever we change our surroundings and go out, our perspective tends to change and we begin to experience new insights.
Dia recently posted..My life is boring
I like this Dia. Because it is a problem people have. Getting bored.
Looking at it from a female point. I think this is why women like to go shopping, it is not something they really need, it is that they are bored and want something new.
As for myself, I find that I can get bored with the way my house looks and feels at times. When this happens I just make little changes with it. Move the furniture around, give it a really good cleaning or a room a new paint job.
When it comes to having a blog and website, I set hours that I work on it, but always remember to take time to get our of the house even if it is just to go for a walk.
You are right we can’t get into such a routine that we don’t make daily little changes, even if it is to go to lunch with a friend or have some friends over.
I like try something new. Guess I will go paint a room this weekend. LOL
thanks Dia and have a great day.

Hi Debbie,
The key is to do something different in our lives so we break the routine. Yea females tend to love to go shopping to overcome their boredom. As long as the person finds what works for him, then that is all that counts. Thanks Debbie
Dia recently posted..My life is boring
Hello, Dia,
Life can get boring when we grow into our habits and just get used to the daily routine. There are good sides of it, however-as we are sure we are in familiar surroundings and situations. However, the negative one is getting bored with such lifestyle.
I agree persons with daily routines should break their circle of boredom with finding a hobby first. Or just remembering there are friends which can help them live their lives again. I think we take friendships for granted….too bad, they can be so beneficial in many ways.

Hey Dia,
I remember reading some where that boredom is one of the worst mental states to be in.
I hardly ever get bored these days but when I was younger I would feel bored in school.
Justin | Mazzastick recently posted..The Idea of Failure
Yes, to have an exciting life we must go out and find the excitement. Too much isolation can lead to a dullness of spirit.
Thanks for these ideas Dia and for the energy needed to have a wonderful life.

Hi Dia,
We can often slide into ‘same old, same old’ and lose our vibrancy.Take 5 minutes each day and visualise something magnificent, then proceed in that direction. Thank you 7
be good to yourself

Dia, I love your opening admonition to have a vision and purpose. Without those, life can have a lot of roller-coaster moments. Vision and purpose keep us moving toward our goals. Thanks for your story, my friend! Glad to connect again!
Bryan Thompson recently posted..How do you Pick Yourself Up When You’ve just Struck Out?
Hi Dia,
Eversince discovering my life purpose and mission, life has never been boring for me. Each day, I still have my routines which I love because it brings some form of certainty to my life. But I am finding less and less time to do what I like each day because there is so much to do to move myself towards my dreams. Getting up early and sleeping late is just one of the ways to find more time. In the process I am a bit tired by the end of the night. But still the energy flows. I guess the key to a non boring life is finding your purpose and than going out and actively pursuing it.
Cheers to the end of boredom for all.

Excellent job once again Dia,
When I’m bored I sometimes hit the web and look for some friends who share my interest.
Turntable.fm is a great place just to hang out and listen to music you like while chatting with the other people in the room.
Justin.TV and Livestream always have some interesting personalities sharing live. You can join them and start chatting with a group there as well.
If you are connected to the internet it’s almost impossible to be bored these days.

I’m going to be anthesis on this one Dia. Life is boring. So what? Perhaps boring is actually normal and unthreatening and safe and steady? Everyone seems to want exciting, adventurous existences full of marvellous experiences until things go wrong or problems surface (some never expect this as life should be a permanent perfect paradise to them) and then they suddenly back track to wishing life was back to its usual everyday reliability. Or to where they are right now! Life isn’t boring but wanting more and more is. Loving what we have will solve more in this world instead of chasing perceived dream lives.
John Sherry recently posted..How To Start A New Life – Part 2
I find myself thinking my life is boring multiple times in a day. I’ve tried looking for new things to get into but after just a few days of trying it, I get bored of it and stop doing it. I’ve tried exercising but it only occupied my attention for a week and that was the end of that. I haven’t tried the “meeting new people” suggestion though. I guess I should hang out with friends more to meet their friends.

Apply yourself to creating a passive income to help get by in times of need, depending on what you know already you might have a skill but need to learn the business side or you might have the understanding to run a business but need a marketable skill. Look at where you are and evolve!

I am totally bored with my life right now. I’m staying at home and most of the time sit in front of my computer doing online stuffs. Right now, I’m in the planning stage for my vacation soon and going back to school to attend short culinary courses. I do hope I could really push thru with all of these plans.

It’s really hard to deal with boredom. It makes me sick! I can’t stand just by lying in bed or just watching tv all day. If boredom hits you, why don’t you try to wash all your dirty clothes or clean the whole house. I’m sure you can’t even feel a single boredom.
