How to crush boredom and create excitement by darejulius: 3:24pm On Sep 26, 2015 |
I once called a guy and said to him "you are always happy and today, you are too excited. What's wrong with you?" We live in a society that defines inactivity, coldness and dullness as humility. Whoever you are, whatever you have and wherever you are, you can be absolutely exciting right now. Believe me. "but I don't have a car... No nice job... My gp is freaking low.... My friends think I'm a headless cog... ". You say. I say, " beware of what you tell yourself, your brain might be eavesdropping." The other day I told myself that if I talked too much I'd be sick. Boy, did I get sick? What you say to yourself are self fulfilling prophesies. And this brings tip number one. AFFIRMATIONS. Tell yourself, "I can create excitement right now!" But any dud can say that.... Thrillers are duds..To make this really work, ask yourself..."How can I create excitement right now?" Depending on the state you are, different crazy ideas will pop up. If you can't find any, search the Internet for crazy ideas, ask friends for crazy ideas that you can implement now. If you're in any online forum, pop up the question (make sure it is not a professional forum, that's of course crazy Tip number 1.1:Ask yourself, how can I implement it right away? Then do it... You really don't need a perfect plan to execute a crazy idea. 2. Listen to a loud music on headphones. There is a scientific backing to this- listening to music at a very high volume improves one's mood. 3. Write. Just write anything. Much better, write down things that make you happy. Write absolutely ridiculous things that people do. 4. Gratitude. Gratitude is paying more attention to things you have than things you long for. Thank God for the breath of life, thank your family and friends for accepting silly things you do. www.thedopeculture..com 5. Meditation. Just find a nice chair, sit comfortably, close your eyes and focus on your breath. Take slow, rhythmic and long breath. You can play an audio version of your favourite scriptures, motivational quotes and messages on the background (or use earpiece). www.thedopeculture..com 6. Go for a walk. While preparing for exams, I would often leave the library and go for a long walk. This helps change the flow of the nervous system from a dormant mode to a more active (Happy) mode. Have a hobby. Get something to cool off the steam when you're are hot and can't generate positive stream of thoughts. Sports, dancing... are good. Something exciting to take off the stress of the present moment. The guy exploded into laughter and said,"I can't help it. I am just naturally Happy". Then, I thought maybe some of us can pursue something else.. Perhaps happiness isn't meant for us. (I failed the tip number one) What I didn't realize is that you can be happy now, no matter what. Full stop. http://thedopeculture..in/2015/09/how-to-crush-boredom-and-create.html 3 Likes |

I would say the secret is to be enthusiastic about
everything that comes into your life. To care, to
care about people. To be excited about everything
that comes close to you. I love to read. And I
love to write, mostly.
Fay Wray When you start being enthusiastic about whatever it is you like, that is the golden age for you. Michael Winterbottom |

3 things I do to turn around a bad day 98 percent of the craps in our heads are not actually ours. They belong to our clans which are filled up with people we see on televisions (the main reason I don't listen to news), people in our pasts who designed our mental models of the world (Happy people will always be happy and sad people will always be sad), our families, our friends, models, authors... and God. The clan is made up of 150 members (the dunbar's number). So when you're down, ask yourself whose idea is this? Whose crap is this? You've probably heard of the emotional wagon where some people are always venting their emotional toxic waste on others... the angry driver who curses other motorists, the sad secretary who refuses your requests... Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. It is called life. Right now, I am down and implementing this list. The day is not over until 11:59 pm and days are not infinite.

Enthusiasm is one of the most
powerful engines of success. When you do a
thing, do it with all your might. Put your
whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own
personality. Be active, be energetic, be
enthusiastic and faithful, and you will
accomplish your object. Nothing great was
ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Chiscomax:That's great. One more thing, make today sugar-coated . Don't attach yourself to the outcomes you get today. You're an amazing person seeking references in the day to be more amazing. And if all is gloomy and out of Resonance with your amazing personality, don't fret. Be happy. Choose to be amazing, happy, excited... No matter what. Remembering that what has control over our emotions, has control over us. Be focused, stay grounded and let nothing undo you. Be glad no matter what! |

The quality of your life is the quality of your emotions. If you're not happy in your intimate relationships, you're not happy. It doesn't matter how successful you are. No matter the negativity, flood yourself with positivity. |

Zen Story: Be The Lion
A Sufi teaching story tells of a man who prayed
continually for the awareness to succeed in life.
Then one night he dreamed of going into the
forest to attain understanding. The next morning
he went into the woods and wandered for several
hours looking for some sign that would provide
answers. When he finally stopped to rest, he saw
a fox with no legs lying between two rocks in a
cool place. Curious as to how a legless fox could
survive, he waited until sunset when he observed
a lion come and lay meat before the fox. “Ah, I
understand,” the man thought. “The secret to
success in life is to trust that God will take care
of all my needs. I don’t need to provide for
myself. All I have to do is totally surrender to my
all-sustaining God.” Two weeks later, weakened
and starving, the man had another dream. In it he
heard a voice say, “Fool. Be like the lion, not like
the fox.” |

Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are
not 'yours,' not personal. They are
conditions of the human mind. They
come and go. Nothing that comes
and goes is you.

Don't play the victim to circumstances you created yourself. Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe, go slow.......but take the step. |

Align yourself with people that
you can learn from, people who want
more out of life, people who are
