How to Deal With Boredom (especially right now!) 

Ню Νιούρα I literally shouted ‘WOAH’ - this quote puts into words a concept I’ve struggled to articulate for years

Words of kindness 💗

I haven’t watched 10 seconds because I’m bored

Lol

YESS he's got me to finish my painting with him on the livestream. He needs to do more

Yes! He was so cute 😅

When was there a live stream? On youtube?

Well said

Totally agree. It's good to have 'zero days' every once and a while.

To relax while doing nothing is a skill i think almost everyone can get better at, almost like napping, but without the sleeping.

👍 agreed

“For it is possible for a man to be faithful and lazy at the same time” -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in The Little Prince

I think you're in the state of *relaxation.*

lol...I did the same

I was like name at least 1 book Nath. 😅

He has made book related videos if you are interested

Same darling same 😂😂

Sara Makes Art Ik this is weird but your phrase “luxury becomes dull if it’s constant” makes me really happy...it’s so true but smth we have to remind ourselves often. :)

Bethany Stacey Well, think of people like princesses and other “rich girls”. They’re crying of boredom a lot of the time.

Sara Makes Art mhmmm I definitely agree :) (that sounded sarcastic but it’s not lol)

I love everything about this thread haha it's so true that people who are busy constantly are unhappy and those who have too much free time are unhappy too. Need to find that happy medium!

Absolutely with you on this, 200% 😜

Oh yeah I like that a lot!

Ye ive noticed that you become just like those you hang out with.If u spend time with smart people you will feel obligated to do good productive things whereas if gou spend time with people with no ambition you will end up like them if you dont open your eyes

Being consciously lazy or relaxed is importantent so that your mind has the space for being creative. Since the word 'lazy" comes with notion of negative and it often attached with meditation or relaxation. Isn't it?

Well said, these times are great to reflect, learn new skills, create. it can be a blessing if you choose to see it that way.

SO TRUE. Whenever I start to feel "bored" I start thinking asking myself questions to see if there's anything I want to do as a creative outlet or anything I've been thinking about doing but haven't had enough time to fully investigate it.

@@Veronicatastic exactly. I started longboarding because people always think I skate (i dress that way apparently) and I figured I might as well give it a go!

Saw that quote on Twitter just a few hours ago, and it was the first thing I thought of when stumbling upon this video. What are the odds? :-)

Thanks for watching!!

This too shall pass 🙏 I hope you are taking care of yourself.

*Your

And yes, he's content

Goodvibes thanks!

Hmm, I just heard of that quote today, it's from Picasso right? It's a wonderful quote!

@@darkalligraph i bought a bag with that quote in a museum in málaga, so yes, it's from picasso :)

@@darkalligraph yep, you are right.😊👏😊

Legit that was very nice of you

Najih Al hilowli ناجح الهيلولي please respond Nathaniel

He is in France at the moment, I don't think those are his books 🤔

I was wondering the same thing, I assumed he was in a library but he's talking so maybe not...

O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me I totally agree!

story point it’s most likely because you use social media more during these times, which spikes up dopamine levels in your brain more than reading books does, that’s why when you go and try to read a book you’re brain can’t focus and wants to go back to the more “entertaining thing” like your phone. Try a dopamine detox to stop it. I have a video about it on my channel you can check it out :)

@@ChasingObstacles Alright, i haven't used social media in 3 days and that still hasn't helped

Brian Diehl sorry that didn’t work for you buddy, there could be multiple different reasons you’re suffering from lack of energy, your nutrition, lack of physical activity, poor sleep or too much sleep, it could also be as simple as you lost momentum on your goals and don’t have the motivation or purpose to start again, or more serious problems like depression or underlying disease. Because of lack of information about your situation I can’t determine which one it is for you, I suggest you take a look at each of these problems and see which one you resonate with the most. Good luck, you got this!

Özlem Terli how is turkey?

He is a cool dude isn't he XD

Exactly ~ as I am never bored plus speaking five languages helps not to fall in that condrumen😆😈😉

And maybe brush up on your spelling skills in English while you’re at it.

@@xopi2521 ~Ni hao😤

Yes and learn french and chinese

learning English and starting to pick up French, learning language feels like a resting activity nowadays

Hey, I'm not sure exactly how to respond to this, but just wanted you to know that people can relate and you're not alone :) I definitely get what you mean and I don't have a magic cure. I'm having that frustrated, hateful sort of boredom today myself - consuming (eating/watching) stuff that makes me feel worse. I noticed in what you wrote, and it's something I'm guilty of myself, that there was quite a lot of self-criticism about being 'inherently lazy and unfocused' and the idea that you're not 'doing something with your life' or not enough. It made me think that there was more to your description of 'want to get up and go do something but can't' than a physical lockdown. It helps me to remember that lots of these thoughts and feelings about ourselves really are just thoughts and feelings and, like any perspective, they can change, if we gently start challenging our assumptions. In my experience and in the opinions of people more knowledgeable than me, the self-flagellation can keep you more stuck than any actual deficit in your character or abilities. Good luck

He has videos in French:) I hope he can take the time to type up french captions!

or grandma!

Kevinsaidso right? Id love for them to meet (not now tho)

I'll have to look her up! He reminds a lot of people of Matt D'avela who is someone you should totally check out!
