Can Boredom Make it Happen?
I'm trying an experiment: How long does it take for boredom to bring out my passions in life? I was going to take on line classes to get rid of my boredom, but I wasn't sure that would do it. I was also affraid that it would keep me from carrying out my experiment. So, I am trying to find things that I truly enjoy to fill my days. I guess an important part of this boredom experiment is that I want to motivation to come internally not externally. Someone else is not going to tell me what do, when to do it, how much, how long. I want to get beyond the need to always please people and win their approval. Is this making sense?
Today has been a great day for seeing if boredom can push me in the right direction. Nada. Not a single break through today. Well, maybe. I know I can't stand doing the same thing more than about 1 day a week.
Monday is laundry and grocery shopping. (These are not things I feel passionate about, but are necessary.)
Tuesday morning, I stock sort and stock shelves for The Hunger Coalition. I like this.
Wednesday? Well this week I sewed Christmas stockings.
So, that leaves me with Thursday. I took David to the dry cleaners, to pick up his rental car, and then I walked on the treadmill at the gym. Then, I took a long nap, had lunch, played on the computer, picked up some wreaths, read, and I am now back on the computer. It feels like I have wasted a whole day doing very little worth while.
Friday, I should clean the bathrooms. UGH! I need to mop the floors. Ugh! I like to vacuum though.
Saturday I will go to the Papoose Craft fair with Breanna. I should enjoy this.
And Sunday is church.
Hmm.........

Often times "boredom" just leads me to time spent tired and out of sync just like you said and I wonder what is wrong with me that I can be so lazy. Then there are those days that my energy is right and I have these amazing days where I know what to do next and it all flows together into a nice rhythm. Those are the days I feel most like me.
