Boredom
Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored!
I have, in a word, been feeling bored these last few days. Mixed in with a bit of burn out from having not had a holiday for ages. Only a few weeks until christmas and it is the holiday that I am looking forward to.
Did you know that, according to Wikipedia, Charles Dickens invented the word in his novel Bleak House in 1852?
Anyway, this boredom experience has given me the chance to explore the concept and I've realised a couple of interesting things.
1. Boredom has to, by its nature, represent a departure from our connection to spirit. Because when one is connected to spirit, there is certainly no boredom there
2. Feeling uninspired by the mundanity of life is the perfect breeding ground for boredom. The daily grind. This trap disconnects us from the creative, unlimited aspect of ourselves. Making time to do something outside the norm is so crucial to living a whole life and moving on from boredom
3. Boredom signals the need for a change. From the immediate and simple like going for a walk and getting some fresh air, or doing some kind of action (eating chocolate does not count!), to thinking about how to change your job or seeing a movie.
Anyway, any more boredom busters would be great, so let me know.
I decided to go for a long walk and take a few photos of the full moon. How magnificent it is.
So, here is one for you!
Love and peace.
