And sometimes the things we do when we're bored might not be actively harmful like an electric shock, but they're not great either.
It drives us to just continue spiraling into this state of doing behaviors and performing behaviors that aren't helpful.
And so when we are in a funk and kind of questioning, why am I doing all these things that actually aren't helping me, but I can't stop?
Why am I drinking all the time?
Why am I not reading before bed?
Why am I continuing to not make moves that I want to make?
That boredom that you are experiencing all the time is actually shutting down your brain's ability to make creative, new, fresh choices towards your life.
Besides those two factors, I do think there's a third thing.
And I do think that that is acknowledging that sometimes
Yes, the world around us is boring, is difficult, is putting us in a funk.
Sometimes it's not fun to admit, but sometimes we are the funk though.
We have become the bad day.
We have become the bad mood.
We become the one ruining things for ourselves.
And sometimes ruining things for others.
And it can create quite a self-fulfilling prophecy that we do need to snap out of.
Like there is a level of acknowledgement and accountability with certain funk states that maybe we're kind of playing into it a little bit.
Literally, this is a realization I've kind of had to sit with in recent months.
Again, I went through this period when I first moved to London where every day was a bad day.
And I realized that was probably because I was waking up expecting it to be a bad day.
