1 – Savor this day and only this day to not get bored in your life
Indeed, have you noticed that boredom seems more and more heavy, unbearable even when you realize that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next week, or even next month will look exactly like this day that you are living?
This is why I invite you with all my heart to come back to this day. That is to say, to live one day at a time.
In other words, when you feel boredom rising and weighing you down more and more, remember to live one day at a time, no more, no less.
You don’t care what tomorrow brings, only this day matters.
In fact, it’s even possible that you like this day, because you’re doing things you like: you like your job, your family, your home. Right now, you’re reading a book you like, you’re also watching a series you like.
But it’s when you imagine that all the days that follow will be the same that you start to suffer from boredom.
So, remember that life is lived one day at a time.
Indeed, stop seeing the repetition of your days everywhere, live each day individually, you’ll see, it’s magic!
Because happiness is not only in novelty. It is also, and above all, found in our little daily habits, those which make us smile, those which soothe us.
2 – Live one hour at a time so as not to get bored in your life
Have you noticed how we are never present in what we are doing? In fact, we always imagine ourselves elsewhere, doing something else.
That is to say, when we are at work, we think about home. And when we are at home, we think about work.
Indeed, without realizing it, we cultivate a feeling of frustration and boredom at every moment of our life.
This is why I invite you with all my heart to come back to this hour that you are living.
During this hour, what do you want to do? What are you going to do? How are you going to do it?
This hour is a gift and you have the power to make it magical.
Indeed, stop believing that it is the things you do that bring you happiness and joy. In fact, it is above all the way you do things that counts.
That is why bring happiness and joy to everything you are going to do during this next hour.
In other words, stop imagining yourself on the other side of the world. (laughs)
Indeed, in order not to be bored in your life, it is not necessary to go to the other side of the world, we simply need to give all our attention and joy to this hour that is coming.
3 – Live one minute at a time
Ultimately, it’s not what happens in your life that makes you happy, it’s rather the way you look at it and live it.
In fact, when you’re bored with your life, it’s essential to understand that everything starts with you.
So, it’s not up to your life to be full of magic and joy, it’s up to you to bring magic and joy to it.
Indeed, the happiness that we feel is not something that we receive, it’s something that we vibrate. It’s a surge of the heart.
“I decide to live this moment with all the joy and happiness that I’m capable of.”
Indeed, don’t believe that your life will necessarily be more beautiful, more exciting elsewhere, with other people, doing other things.
Your life is already beautiful, it’s just that you don’t live it, you only think about it.
So, stop thinking and live.
For this, I invite you to live this minute consciously. Close your eyes and breathe. Or, open your eyes and contemplate the sky. You can even dance, sing.
So, instead of getting bored, live!
4 – One life at a time
We would like to live so many different lives. Moreover, this leads us to drag regrets behind us. These regrets make us very pessimistic and severe towards our life.
This is why we are so bored in our life.
What if we had to live only one life at a time?
What if we understood right now that we don’t have to live lots of lives, lots of different paths, but simply to live this life well?
Indeed, it is time for you to free yourself from your regrets and frustration to finally take a softer and more amazed look at your life.
There is good. There are beautiful things. It is simply that you can no longer savor them, because you are too busy dreaming of another life.
In fact, you are bored, because you are not really living your current life. You are not putting all the enthusiasm, love, curiosity and gratitude into it that you are nevertheless capable of putting.
This is why I invite you with all my heart to refocus on your life.
What can you do here, now to feel happier and happier?
Maybe you need to make some decisions, to make some changes, so do them.
Do them with enthusiasm, with hope.
But, above all, do not forget to live here, now, and to savor everything you can savor.
5 – Take inspiration from role models to avoid getting bored in your life
It is normal to be bored in your life, because that is what routine requires.
But, routine weighs on us even more when we spend too much time watching movies or other people’s lives on social networks. Because we tell ourselves that their lives are really more exciting than ours.
And, we stop living our lives, to think about it, imagine it, fantasize about it. Without realizing that the more we fantasize about our lives, the more our lives bore us. In other words, we lock ourselves in a vicious circle.
So, how can we free ourselves from this vicious circle?
To do this, I invite you to take inspiration from role models.
Personally, when I feel that I am getting more and more bored with my life, that I am starting to no longer know how to savor the magic of my daily life, I think of all those people who knew how to live serenely the sweetness of each day of their life.
In these moments, I read books by Marcel Pagnol who immerse me in the south of France and who describes very simple days, but so happy.
I also think of this man who built a palace in his garden for 30 years of his life. Each day was the same, but he liked his dream, his life.
These are people who did not fantasize about their life, but who lived it. And that changes everything.
So, I invite you with all my heart to find your role models. People, life paths that remind you how happy and magical your life, provided you live it fully, is!
