Go for a walk. It doesn’t matter how long or how far you go but simply getting up and moving resets your mind. Walk in a different direction, listen to some music, podcast or audio book to change things up.
volunteer in your local community and meet cool people
Get in touch with your instincts. If your mind and genome don’t agree with what should be done either you get mania (genome gets tricked to funnel libido into strange places), or depression (genome takes away libido to starve away things in the mind it doesn’t like).
For starters, sit down and ask “ok, back of my mind, tell me about that boredom and us in general, I’m listening. What’s up with that shit”. Be wary of wishful thinking. Also, make some sandwiches, some tea, put everything in a backpack and take a walk.
Find a hobby, learn a new skill, keep occupied. That’s it, there’s not much to it, you’re not going to magically feel unbored without keeping active.
are there any hobbys worth getting into? becasue i feel kinda lost.
That’s a very personal decision, not one can tell you what makes you tick… Do you like food? Start baking… Do you like anime? Start drawing… Do you like nature? Start hiking… Plants? Start gardening…
Learn a language and go to a language meetup. Yoga or other exercise, martial arts . Cooking and nutrition. Meditation.
Start trying hobbies until you find something you enjoy.
Have kids. Only partially joking, because I wish I had time to be bored.
Meditation is probably what you’re looking for. It basically teaches you to accept that bored feeling and just feel it. You’re probably just seeking out the dopamine hits too much so you need a good reset. I struggle with the same problem sometimes and I definitely need to meditate more.
I think joining a local league or group with something that interests you. I found curling. The first year you get to know people and even if you end up grouped with people who you don’t 100% click with you will be able to find other people who share an interest and would probably group with you the next year.
Self-host Lemmy (and a bunch of other stuff).
Read a book. Read another.
Learn an instrument. Youtube is helpful for this.
Start going to the gym, every day.
For me, the best prescription has been scheduling things for myself. Even mundane things like “I’m going to check the air in the tires tomorrow.” But also “That movie I’ve been meaning to watch for ages will be watched by me next Tuesday.”
Then, I try to keep a running mental list of things I can be doing, but which have no particular priority - reading, playing a video game, watching something, ticking a chore off the to-do list. If I’m feeling indecisive, that’s a sign that maybe none of the things on my list are any better than the others, and so I’ll pick one at random and force myself to get it started and put my whole attention into it. That’s usually the hardest part. Once I get going and force myself to put the phone away and engage with something, it’s easier to melt into it, and I’m no longer bored because I’m now busy.
