Everyone gets bored once in a while. If it’s a chronic condition, it could be a symptom of depression. More often than not, it is temporary. As unpleasant as it may feel at the time, it is also an opportunity to let your mind wander where it will. Pleasantly surprising thoughts may arise. Boredom spurs creativity, and shouldn’t be avoided, swatted away or supplanted by distracting activity.
The trap of going on a diet to lose weight is that it doesn’t work. You need to be thinking more in terms of a permanent change in lifestyle. One that you can live with. The problem with diets is that when you reach your goal weight and go back to eating the way you used to, it all comes right back. They call it the Yo-Yo Effect.
A concept most of us have grown up with is that other people “make” us feel a certain way. Or, conversely, we’ll feel bad if we say or do something because it will “make” the other person feel hurt. Unfortunately we don’t have the power or control over someone else’s feelings, nor they over ours. We are responsible for our own feelings, and other people are responsible for theirs. The blame game is an immature way to approach emotions. Learn a more mature way.
