Anti-Boredom Month
It is National
Anti-Boredom Month! Looking for ways to get out of your monotony of your summer
routine can be problematic. The long summer days of doing the same repetitive
activities can bring on boredom to any child and to an older adult. Therefore,
a change of scenery, learning a recent activity, or working on old, abandoned hobbies
can be effective for your health. It is normal to feel boredom once a month but
not all the time.
Your mental health is affected when it is in a state of boredom. The consequence of boredom leads to a deeper depression, more anxiety, and more fears of loneliness. It is recommended that outdoor activities should be done to let go of the feelings that boredom might bring. Yet, make sure you feel safe when beginning a new outdoor activity such as learning how to use a scooter, learning how to ski, or any other activity that requires your full attention. Also, doing group activities takes away some of the loneliness that is brought on by boredom.
However, boredom can
also occur when there is no motivation to do outdoor activities, not enough
sleep, and lack of mental stimulation. Break away from your typical routine and
try something new to feel mental stimulation. Do activities that make you feel
creative and encouraged. Take online or social media breaks to enjoy the summer
days. Here are more resources for anti-boredom month and for your mental health.
