boredom
November 2009 
What do you do when you're bored?
Zephyr
What's boredom? I don't think I have ever been bored.
check a risk assessment scale for depression, severe boredom can cause it.if you are depressed get professional help, if you are not depressed - here are my tips -
carry something to read or a notebook to write on
learn something new - at any age.
take up a hobby or sport that fires your passion
if you have nothing to do help someone else, eg volunteer for a charity of interest
consider a pet if you can be a responsible and kind owner and can afford it.
make some changes in your life, particularly something you thought you would never do.
watch tv selectively not slavishly
if you don't like work change to something you love doing
make time for fun
play lets pretend - you are a robot, a film star, a super hero etc etc, use your imagination
if all else fails blink wildly, then close your eyes for a while and watch the light show,
that should amuse you for a few minutes, .

Great post, Gael! And just in the nick of time. I'm going to be at a writer's conference this weekend and if I get bored I'm going to take your advice and “… blink wildly and then close my eyes for a while and watch the light show!”
They will probably say who is that lovely lady with the nervous tic - LOL
Have fun at the conference.
Brilliant, Gael. Thank you.
:blinkblinkblink:
Oooh…
Yeah, great way to meet guys too. Thanks, Gael, should I ever have the luck to get bored, outside of waiting for an elevator, I'll surely give it a try.
Siona, blinking those beautiful eyes should start a few other diversions, smiles.
Sandi, yes it should get them intrigued, especially one eye at a time !
