Don't Be Bored to Death!

Boredom is a fact of life, and each person must learn to manage it constructively to prevent unwanted thoughts and feelings from dominating their mind. Boredom is the outgrowth of what’s happening psychologically. However, you have the power to change your thought patterns to what are challenging and meaningful.

  

When you allow boredom to take up residence in your mind, negative thoughts become repetitive. These thoughts are reinforced with low self-esteem. If you become perpetually bored, you may be vulnerable to excessive use of excuse-making that eventually impairs your judgment. Your eagerness to accept challenges to explore present and future possibilities is also impaired.

Boredom indicates the absence of inner peace and must be challenged with opportunities to change particular facets of your lifestyle. Being receptive to God’s purpose for you can begin now. God acknowledges, "I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Faith in these powerful words can change your life.
