Boredom | by Madisyn Taylor Sometimes we feel that things aren't moving along fast enough for us and that the world is passing us by. It may be that time seems to stand still and that we are simply bystanders in our own lives. Other times it might appear that there is nothing new left for us to experience and that we are locked into a never-ending cycle of stasis. If we take the time to listen to these feelings we will notice that there is probably more going on beneath the surface, like our apprehension to venture out into the unknown. By taking a new look at how we live our lives, however, it will be easier to break through our sense of boredom and enter into a more positive state of being. When life seems monotonous, it is usually an indication that there is something we need to change. Boredom can easily lead us down the path to despondency. Acknowledging our feelings and then setting the intention to alter just one small thing in our life can give us a much more affirmative outlook. This act of change allows us to step outside of ourselves and discover new and exciting things that are often already present in our everyday lives. Simple things such as eating a healthier diet, taking a new class, or joining a club are all ways in which we can go beyond our comfort zone and explore the wonders that exist all around us. Keep in mind that the moment we do something different from our usual routine, the more fresh energy, hope, and blessings we will manifest in our life. What this means is that we'll no longer see things as being tedious but will instead realize the preciousness of everything. Being able to integrate these subtle changes on a daily basis allows us to recognize the miracles that are our lives. Even though we may think of change as doing something life-altering or drastic, gentle transitions from our habitual ways of doing things and an appreciation of all life offers us will truly bring about positive and lasting transformation. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Neil Sattin and Chloe Urban Do you feel stuck, frustrated, insecure, or alone in your relationship? Do you crave feeling unconditionally loved and fully understood by your partner? Do you want deeper intimacy, more passion, and a relationship that meets you - heart, mind, body, and spirit? There's a key to long-lasting, deepening connection that all amazing relationships share: safety. And when there are cracks in the safety, that's when all sorts of problems begin to creep in - until they're undermining your relationship, and maybe even your sense of self. That's because a lack of safety pushes us into a state of fight/flight/freeze - so that your entire system is more focused on survival than on the play, creativity, vulnerability, and courage required to take your relationship to new heights. Now, what do we mean by safety? We're not talking about "playing it safe" - the kind of safety that might hold you back or deaden your relationship. We're ta! lking about the kind of safety that creates a deep sense of trust and connection in your relationship. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1.
