Go for a walk. It doesn’t matter how long or how far you go but simply getting up and moving resets your mind. Walk in a different direction, listen to some music, podcast or audio book to change things up.
volunteer in your local community and meet cool people
I think joining a local league or group with something that interests you. I found curling. The first year you get to know people and even if you end up grouped with people who you don’t 100% click with you will be able to find other people who share an interest and would probably group with you the next year.
Not really answer to your question but… https://youtu.be/LKPwKFigF8U
Start trying hobbies until you find something you enjoy.
I think you should look in to some mindfulness practices.
Why are you bored? Are you really even bored? What is boredom? How do I feel and how do I change that.
Its a super simple concept but it really helps in self betterment, dealing with emotions, ans getting to the core of your own desires and helps to lead a more fulfilling life where you actually do the things you want to do because you actually want to do them.
Retrain how you perceive boredom. Its your mind and body telling you something. Listen.
Also, a quote I heard when I was younger has always stuck with me. “Don’t do what you love, love everything you do” . Basically, try to put your all into everything and take pride in even the smallest of tasks. I’ve found its very helpful as far as mental health is concerned.
Personally I play guitar and drums and write my own stuff. I always can fall back on that because it’s something I LOVE to do. Find something you really love and stick with it. Get good at it.
Make the most of your time here.
Have kids. Only partially joking, because I wish I had time to be bored.
Meditation is probably what you’re looking for. It basically teaches you to accept that bored feeling and just feel it. You’re probably just seeking out the dopamine hits too much so you need a good reset. I struggle with the same problem sometimes and I definitely need to meditate more.
Find a hobby, learn a new skill, keep occupied. That’s it, there’s not much to it, you’re not going to magically feel unbored without keeping active.
are there any hobbys worth getting into? becasue i feel kinda lost.
That’s a very personal decision, not one can tell you what makes you tick… Do you like food? Start baking… Do you like anime? Start drawing… Do you like nature? Start hiking… Plants? Start gardening…
Learn a language and go to a language meetup. Yoga or other exercise, martial arts . Cooking and nutrition. Meditation.
Self-host Lemmy (and a bunch of other stuff).
Read a book. Read another.
Learn an instrument. Youtube is helpful for this.
Start going to the gym, every day.
Get in touch with your instincts. If your mind and genome don’t agree with what should be done either you get mania (genome gets tricked to funnel libido into strange places), or depression (genome takes away libido to starve away things in the mind it doesn’t like).
For starters, sit down and ask “ok, back of my mind, tell me about that boredom and us in general, I’m listening. What’s up with that shit”. Be wary of wishful thinking. Also, make some sandwiches, some tea, put everything in a backpack and take a walk.
