Unleashing Your Creativity from Boredom

Updated on October 9, 2022

Are you bored? Got nothing to do? Sick and tired of the daily routine? A lot of people find boredom useless. But actually, it can be converted into something meaningful. It can unleash your creative juices and kick-start your venture, activities, and tasks creatively.

For instance, you are staring at a blank sheet of paper. The moment you get bored, somehow you'll become opted to scribble, draw, write, sketch or doodle on that blank sheet. This tends you do something unconventional. Actually, your boredom triggered you to unleash your creativity. It elicits and stimulates the artist in you.

Why? because of the moment you get bored. Your imagination seems to think and play. You aren't contented and happy about its plainness so you tend to come up of generating amusing and unusual ideas.

Being bored is someone's discontentment with conventionalism and mediocrity. The popular term, "getting outside the box" means, going against the flow. To not fit in with the usual mold. I believe that it's better to be ridiculous than to be a boring individual. That's why many artistic and creative people who are perceived as weirdos are the ones who feel boredom oftentimes. Office clerk who is less creative has a greater tolerance for boredom. As a creative person, used to have a 9 to 5 grind in an office. My constant boredom channeled my creativity into searching for a more creative venture as an English teacher.

The actual cause of boredom is the lack of stimulation or over-familiarization with daily routines. Many individuals who engage in the artistic fields such as animators, painters, comic book artists, designers, songwriters, entrepreneurs, and even bloggers and online writers can benefit by being bored.

Boredom gives us the signal that we're not being creative and innovative enough. It gives us the desire to quench our creative juices and let our ideas come alive.

Online writers and bloggers tend to kill their boredom by expressing their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and aspirations in life by writing on a blank canvas, either on a piece of paper or on their blog sites.

As these scribes tend to stare blankly out their window, their imagination seems to generate unusually and sometimes, brilliant ideas. So whenever you get bored, don't ever think that you're wasting and spending your time in vain.

It's actually a privilege for you to get creative and innovative.
