My life is so good, why am I so bored?
Question:
And before anyone asks, my spirituality is a private thing to me, but yes, I believe in G-d.
However, I am bored and unhappy lately. All I want to do is stay in bed and read a book. I can barely even motivate myself to do the simplest household chores, but I don't think I'm depressed b/c I'll run around all day with friends and have a great time.
Help? How can I get out of this rut, when everything is so good in my life?
Answers:
hmmm. i have thing same problem sometimes. It's wierd b/c sometimes things are absolutely fine and I'm on top of the world, esp. when I'm with my friends. I am an artist too, a graphic designer. I have recently fullfilled a lot of my previous life goals. I should be running around all the time with a perma grin. But sometimes, no matter what, I fall back into a what next mode. And then sometimes i get overwhelmed with what i want next.
I think the problem is that sometimes i don't know what to do next. since you are like me in that you are happy with where you are i think it's hard to see where you will be going next. But as a creative person you will always have a drive to find out your next move, you also always have a desire to "create" something great. I think for us this goes into every aspect of life, not just our chosen art form.
for me, i am bored unless i have a lot of new things going on, and once those things start to become to common, or i get comfortable with them, i get restless to mix things up and change them, even when things are working perfectly fine.
So I can't say for sure, but if your like me, then this boredom, comes from a restless need to always be stimulated in every aspect of life. To be honest, i haven't found a cure yet. i have a feeling this is something i too will struggle with my entire life. but it's part of what makes me me. If i didn't have this problem i might become too complacent and if we were all like that new ideas and new ways of living would never be born.
I say for now, get up and clean your house. There's nothing like a crispy slate to start you life on. Then, if you still feel like reading, pack yourself a lunch, and go to the beach, or the park with you book, or even barnes n noble. relax and enjoy the fact you can appreciate a good book. give yourself a break, it's okay to kick back for awhile and just let things be.
good luck!
If you can concentrate to read a book, then chances are you're not depressed.
Working from home can demotivate you...try going to a writing group to help kick-start the motivation to get on with the writing.
You sound like you have it all! Maybe you just need a little downtime now and again to get out of the rat race!
