Feeling bored?

As a multipotentialite, periodically i feel bored. My journey goes like this: i casually find a new interest, a new hobby, it becomes my new obsession. 'Cause i want to know everything about that. I want to be a master in everything i do. Whenever i reach a certain level of proficiency hence i'm satisfied with the knowledge i gathered boredom arises. That's the call to try new things.

The Honey moon phase

Starting new things feels like the start of an engaging adventure filled with possibilities. It's something similar to being in love. Because of that i name this phase the Honey moon.

New interests spark excitement and motivation. Why?

Humans are inherently wired to seek novelty, a trait deeply rooted in our evolutionary history. This drive is linked to the brain's reward system, which releases dopamine — a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and learning — when we encounter new experiences. This biological response not only enhances our mood but also encourages exploration and creativity, making novelty-seeking an important aspect of human behavior.

I find myself feeling positively, happy, satisfied of my life when i'm in this phase. Viceversa, when i lose interest i reach a negative emotional state, and i feel bad. This highlights how crucial novelty is not just for my intellectual growth but also for emotional health.

During the honey moon phase there are periods of intense focus and learning. As i said previously, i want to master every new skill or knowledge area intrigues me. Sometimes it is hard but always satisfying. It is easier if you, like me, have a lot of free time.

Challenge prejudices

Everyone has prejudices. Trying new things challenges them. I love cinema, in my life i've seen over 1300 films. Some time ago i had a prejudice about musical genre:

Musical is not for me, i can not stand actors singing along all the time.

One day i was bored, i consulted my watchlist and none of them inspired me confidence.

Let's try something new, time to give musical a chance.

The film i saw that night surprised me, gave me joy, inspiration. So much that it became my favourite. I strongly advice you to see: The greatest showman 2017 and West side story 2021.

I noticed that when you are bored, you are more prone to take risks and step out of your comfort zone.

Conclusion

If you feel bored, you just have to live! Try reading a book of a different genre, experiment new food, visit a new place, make new friends, listen to random songs. The key is finding new perspectives to see the world in a different, better way. Remember life is full of possibilities. There is always something new to learn.
