Break Your Boredom With Creativity
One of the biggest problems today, even among all the technological advances as far as games and movies go, is boredom. We are in an age where there has never been so much to do, and it has never been so easy to be bored at the same time. We seem to have developed very short attention spans, and we want everything NOW, and we want it to be fast.
The only thing worse than being bored while you have all these things, is facing the boredom without these things. At least if you have them, you know you can do them if you want. But if they are not there, then it seems the problem is a bit worse. You are stuck, even if you feel like doing one of the activities you think is boring. I experienced this lost feeling when I moved out of my parents house into my own apartment.
I made the move a bit quicker than I intended, and that meant only being able to take a few things with me. The rest would have to be delivered by my brother, because he had a truck. But he could not do it for another four days. So I was left in the apartment, on my own, with only some things my parents had given me, and some things I owned. I had managed to bring my prize possession, which was an Ibanez acoustic electric guitar.
I played around on it until it was boring, then put it down. I was soon staring at the walls, wondering what I could do. I did not want to go out and be talking with strangers since this was a new neighborhood for me. But I did remember I had my paint set in a box in the back room. So I spent some time drawing and painting, and soon my passion for that faded as well.
I could not think of any ways of amusing myself. Then it hit me. I actually had a creative idea. I grabbed the paint and went to a bathroom mirror. I began to artistically paint a hard rock face onto mine. I was about to create for myself, a fantasy I had, of being a rock and roll heavy metal star. After painting my face, I pulled on my old brown boots, and went back to the living room. I looked like I belonged on a heavy metal album cover.
I pushed the dyson all floors vacuum cleaner my mother has stuck in the car over in front of my one chair. I hoisted my guitar onto my lap, propped my feet up on the top of the vacuum, and began to play. I fantasized I was in concert and girls were screaming and fainting. I had so much fun, I was there for hours, occasionally getting up and playing across the floor. Creativity flowed through me with ease.
By the time my brother arrived with the rest of my things, four days later, I had managed to write five really great songs. Everyone I played them for were amazed at how good they were. I was really proud of myself. I had discovered that with a little alone time, and some creativity, you can really accomplish some things. And without all the technological things we entertain ourselves with today. I was now able to entertain myself, and then entertain others too.
