Boredom

A wise man once said: “The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.”

How many minutes can we spend staring at the blank walls of your room? How many hours can you possibly spend resting and watching TV? It can be entertaining at the beginning but after a while it just becomes torture.

So I decided it would be a nice idea to share a bunch of things you can do in case you are stuck inside on rainy days. And since I love lists pretty much, here you have a list of things you can do to fight off the horror of having nothing to do.

1- Read a book. It's not a secret that reading is an excellent pastime. But sometimes, at the end of a long day, it's easier to switch the TV. Unless you’re a book lover, reading a novel isn’t really the first thing you think of when you’re trying to figure out what to do when you’rebored at home. But let’s give it a try. 

2- Read online articles.  Just go and surf the web for articles that spark your interest. You can read about the things you like and learn even more about them.

3-Organize your closet. If you are like most people, then you probably don’t spend a lot of time and effort into organizing your closet. As a result, your closet looks like a tornado has been hitting it. Well, now that you have some hours on your hands, you can start changing all that. Furthermore, you can pick the clothes you don’t use anymore and give them away or customize them, which will take its time and will also help to avoid boredom.

4- Try a new recipe. Trying out a new recipe is another great item on this list of things to do when bored at home. Just look for an easy dish to kook and give it a try. It will taste ten thousand times better when you are the one who has made it. And who knows, maybe you like cooking and you become a professional chef.

5- Listen to music. How long has it been since you don’t listen to your favourite CDs?

6- Watch a movie. Just watch a movie we love or even stend the day doing a movie marathon with your best friends.

7- YouTube. As we all know YouTube is a really common  answer to boredom . We can watch our favourite YouTubers or look for new filmmakers. However, it can go too far. My suggestion is to stop when we start watching cat videos.

8- Enjoy a relaxing bath. Just take out the bath salts you got for your last birthday, fill the bath tub with water, listen to soft music, and enjoy!

9 -Paint something. WE all have and artist inside so let your imagination and creativity flow and create a masterpiece.

10- Sing your heart out. One of the things to do when you’re bored at home is to sing your heart out. Even if you’ve got a voice that will scare  anyone, that shouldn’t stop you from singing out loud the lyrics of your favorite songs.

11- Build a fort. Go to your bed and take everything around you to build your own castle-lair-fort thingy.

12-Make a bucket lists. Make a list of things you want to do before you die. And you can also create a blog and share it with the internet.

Finally, you can go outside. Force yourself to leave your house, you won’t regret it.
