More on boredom

She asked me to explain my last blog in more detail. The blog was shorter than I normally would srite, but I figured it was more for me than others. That's why it is probably confusing.

Anyway, as I reflect on the boredom part of that blog, this is what comes to mind. I have an active mind, probably like most people. That is compounded by what has become normal these days: a lot of overstimulation. When the overstimulation comes to a halt, and occassionally it does, then I find myself feeling withdrawal symptoms. I can easily begin to crave for stimulation. If I don't have something urgent and important waiting to be done, I am prey to boredom. And boredom can be filled with whatever is familiar, regardless of whether that whatever is time-worthy.

That is really the problem. I need to assure myself that I recognize the withdrawal symptoms and use the time wisely. I believe that if I can get a handle on the withdrawal, I can recognize that I really don't need to do anything at all; just breathe. That would make my life very manageable.

Keep it real.
