Have you ever been so bored you just thumbed through all your CDs and DvDs looking for something to break the monotony? We all have. But what most people don’t know is that boredom is most often associated with another state of mind, either anxiety or sadness. We are rarely bored while in a happy, excited state of mind. So here is how you can save yourself some time when you are bored and also change your state of mind.
Organize your music and your movies according to energy. Low energy music is for romance, sadness, and anger. High energy music is for a happier state of mind. You also want a good mix of low energy and high energy music to help you transition from a low energy state of mind to a high energy state of mind.
Movies don’t affect our moods the same way that music does, but we still choose our movies on the basis of our moods. So it’s a good idea to put all your “happy” movies together, your “sad” movies together, your action films together, your romantic movies together, etc. That way when you want to watch a movie you can just think about what state of mind you want to be in and browse that set of titles.
When we take responsibility for our moods we can effect changes in our activity and energy levels very quickly. You may need to relax but do you really want to be sad? Depression saps you of your energy and leaves you feeling drained. If you’re sad or hurting you want to be comforted. Finding a movie that helps you transition to a better, more productive state of mind quickly is a great step forward. If you spend a lot of time looking for the right movie you may give up on the task altogether.
Instead of frittering away hours looking for something to do, organize your home entertainment so that it helps put you in a better, more positive frame of mind. You’ll be more open to ideas for things to do and less likely to stay bored for very long.
