There are times in life where you care less than usual. Circumstances may land you in a mentally unstable place. During this time, you may become a bit nihilistic, questioning your existence. You may also grow to be bored of everything you do. Worse than that, the boredom you surround yourself with makes you action-less. We all experience periods of time like this, but there’s a very simple solution to this problem. The solution is to care.
When you care about nothing, nothing is exciting. Nothing is interesting. Nothing is worth doing. We can think of this as the ego manifesting in the worst way, to make it seem as if it knows the outcome of every single action before it even happens. The truth is, your boredom is because of you being careless. You need to always have things to care about. As ridiculous as it may sound, it can be literally anything. Because you care about something, it spurs an action towards whatever that may be. Indirectly, you will be inspired by whatever comes along with what you care about.
When life gets hard, care more, not less. Instead of running away we have to try to solve our boredom and stress by diving head first into whatever we find interesting. Caring is truly the key to curing boredom.
