Boredom


I have too much time on my hands. I am fortunate enough not to have to work for a living and now that my kids have left home I do not have enough useful or enjoyable things to fill my day. I thought that when I found my purpose that would give me something to do, something to wake up excited about every morning and something to fill my days. The work this month has helped me determine that my purpose is “to learn new things for my own benefit and enjoyment and to share golden nuggets of it with others.” That is great and has gotten me reignited about taking some new courses and what not, but it doesn’t fill my days and I find myself bored (and wanting to eat) especially in the evenings when my brain is too tired to learn anything more. How do I figure out what to do to alleviate the boredom? I don’t enjoy watching TV and I don’t seem to want to read anything. I can’t seem to come up with anything that I want to do.
