03 Sep Susan’s Sound Advice #661
The famous actor, George Sanders, shocked the world in the 1970’s when he killed himself and left a suicide note that read, “I am bored…. “. Of course, it is rare that anyone would kill themselves because they are bored, but studies do show that boredom is connected to early death, hence the expression, “bored to death”. Life can’t always be exciting, and there are many times we are bored by what we are doing, but we can liven things up. Boredom feeds on itself, breeding laziness and yet more dissatisfaction with life. If you are feeling like you are stuck, it means it is time to create change for yourself…perhaps searching out new challenges in your job description or maybe even looking for a new job! Or, if you find your weekends are dull because your kids are out of the house, it’s time to schedule new activities that spark your interest. By the way, you don’t have to change things up on a huge scale…It can be as simple as wiping the dust off your bike and taking a ride, taking a road trip to a town you never visited before, or even going grocery shopping in a different place…maybe a farmer’s market or gourmet supermarket. The bottom line is this: Try something new to engage your imagination and emotions. You are the driver in your life, and if you have driven yourself into a ditch, admit you put yourself there and get yourself out. #dailyinspiration #susankorwin #author #lifecoach #simplestridestowardpositi vechange
