Idle mind

Good day, amazing people of the Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hivelearners community. Boredom caused it.

Boredom is something I try my best to avoid. That is why I always try to keep myself busy because the moment I allow boredom to take over me, it will really affect my actions, decisions and thinking as a human. There will be a point in our lives when we will experience boredom; what matters at that point is our ability to handle it.

For someone like me, if I always engage in a particular activity for too long, there will come a time it will bore me; I will no longer find that particular activity exciting, and I will be looking for another thing to replace it, or probably I will look for another activity to replace the current one I am doing.

If there is something I hate so much, it is boredom. I try my best to fight it because an idle mind is a devil's workshop. I have taken a decision because of boredom. That’s not the normal me; I can’t take such decisions. At the end, I was full of regret, and I wish I had avoided boredom.

Boredom may look harmless, but in a way, boredom is very dangerous because if you don’t control your mind, you will end up doing unimaginable things which, with your right sense, you can’t even think of. But for the fact that you are bored, even the idea will keep coming to you because your brain is not engaged, but if you are busy, there is nothing like boredom. You are so busy thinking of how to achieve your goals and the strategy you will use.

Whenever I am bored, I see myself overthinking, and I will keep overimagining things. I may end up thinking weird things, and when I come to my senses, all I could say is, 'God, please help me because of how dirty my thoughts are.' If there is something I fear so much, it is boredom because I have seen many people who take their own life after they imagine things.

I will not lie; boredom has made me do things that I regret. One fateful day I was at home bored, and I needed to do something new. I called a friend, and it happened that they were in a game house. Due to how bored I was at home, I went to the game house to sit with them. Before I knew what was happening, some uniformed men came and arrested all the people in the game house, including me, who was not playing the game. I have to pay heavily to bail myself. I was full of regret.

Since then I have been fighting boredom. Whenever I am bored, I will turn on my data and watch some trending video. I will see myself laughing out loud most times. I end up doing some challenges I come across while watching the trending videos. I try my best not to have too much free time because I find out that too much free time causes boredom, and I am trying my best to minimise my free time.

It is a normal thing to be bored; what really matters is we should be careful of things we do and things we think while we are bored.

This is my entry on the ongoing content #hivelearners #hl-w194e1 topic of boredom because of it.
