How Busyness can be Beneficial

Have you ever thought of why some people get bored? What about yourself?

Have there been times when you entered into the realm of boredom and didn’t know how to cope?

When you might have had a big task to tackle, but in your mind you just said: NOPE!

Many people have felt the same, but is lack of inspiration to blame?

As we are searching for methods of change, let us see how the mind can be tamed.

There was a thought that came to me one day: I'm truly thankful for busyness. I'm truly thankful for my love of reading, for my love of learning, to enjoy writing, to enjoy reading novels.

To enjoy using my imagination and creativity in ways that feed me, instead of drain me, instead of just entertain me.

But instead finding things that sustained me. Because if I was still in the mindset of “when's the next time I can play a video game?” or “when's the next Netflix show?” I feel like I’d be caught in a cage.

I hardly had connection while traveling in Italy so, having many days with nothing to “do”, I'd probably go crazy after a while.

At a certain point you start to be so bored that, unconsciously, you would be driven into doing detrimental things.

Things that derail your mind and the dream that you designed for yourself. You end up not valuing the vision that you see for yourself. A brighter vision for better health and maybe even more wealth. This vision is for you and no one else.

I found gratitude for having a mind that enjoys little things. Things like solving Sudoku puzzles. Like playing a Rubik’s cube. Little things like reading a book, or taking a walk in nature.

Little things like being in the quiet. In the calm of all the chaos. In the peace of all the pandemonium. And in the solace of your own silence and solitude.

You find that you can be content. And to be content is always time well spent.

I read in a book recently where the main character met an interesting gentleman. This man said that he had to have things to do because “if a man has idle hands, if a man has nothing to do, it is dangerous. He becomes a danger to his own self.”

There's usually nothing good that comes out of idle hands. It is the workshop of the devil, They say, when we have nothing productive or constructive on our hands.

Eventually we may turn to the destructive. The things that detract and hold us back.

Dis-traction is the opposite of traction for there really is no staying still. We are either moving forward or backward. So wouldn’t you rather move onwards and upwards?

If you have a love for the hobbies or unpopular habits, be grateful.

I am thankful for my love of reading and the ways that reading is feeding me.

Be thankful that you’ve been able to find the magic in the mundane.

Be thankful if you can find love for the things that others may find lame.

It is actually insurance because it ensures that you will never remain the same. The change it usually garners comes with a wealth of gain.

This inner wealth can even come in the form of a bright brain.

If life is a game, the only way that you could lose is to quit. But we sometimes get into a fit when all we do is just sit.

Therefore, have an aspiration and something bigger to inspire. For the consequences of not having a dream can be dire.
