Five Ways To Break Through Boredom
boredom
the state of being unhappy and uninterested
There's nothing to do at the cabin - I might die of boredom.
Boredom isn’t new to most of us. It’s a lackluster feeling we’ve all experienced at some point in our lives. We can be bored even if we’re busy or suffer from the general malaise of interest that is commonly associated with boredom. But all boredom isn’t the same, and in fact, can be triggered for a lot of different reasons.
Because boredom can manifest in different ways and for different reasons, it’s important to understand what’s happening in the brain. When we start feeling bored, it’s actually our frontal lobe, specifically, the left frontal lobe. When activity in this region of the brain increases, it’s our brains attempt to actively find something to engage its interest. We’re looking for distraction and stimulation.
Here’s the secret to boredom. It isn’t being bored that’s the problem but how we respond to it.
In our modern world, we can easily find distraction. There’s endless feeds to scroll through, countless shows to binge on Netflix. Whenever we feel that restless feeling we can immediately stifle them by grabbing the closest device. And that’s the problem.
When we constantly fight feeling bored, we risk associating that feeling with negativity. But more than that, we increase activity in our right frontal lobe, which becomes more active with negative emotions such as varying states of anxiety. The more we associate these negative feelings with an increasing state of boredom, the more engrained these neural pathways become.
Studies have shown that when we stay in this negative state, we risk harming our overall mental health. The stimulation we need to take us out of the negative state becomes higher, meaning we stay in these anxious states for longer periods of time. Not only that, but because we then link boredom with anxiety, we never let ourselves naturally work through our boredom, increasingly relying on external distractions.
