The links between Boredom & dopamine
Have you ever found yourself relaxing, with some form of entertainment be it TV, a game or a book and you start to realise that you're extremely bored? The activity you're doing to relax and escape your dreary everyday life is completely and totally boring all of a sudden. That has happened to me on numerous occasions, I start to think to myself, why am I wasting my life doing this? A wave flows over me and I feel, not quite existential dread but rather existential boredom.
I don't have enough time
"You have the same amount of hours in a day as Beyonce." Everyone has the same amount of time, we all work and function around the 24-hour clock. So what's your excuse?Chase Jarvis said it well. "Replace the word I don't have time, with it's not a priority for me right now." When changing this sentence, you will realise what you have prioritised in your life.
