January is usually considered as the "dead" month. Why? Because there is nothing interesting to do. Holidays are over, Valentine's Day is far away, it's cold, and simply boring. Nobody likes being under weather, in a bad mood and boring. So what can we do to make ourselves feel better? There are actually a ton of things you can do. Here is my top 7 (and if you wonder why I chose 7, it's because 7 is my lucky number :P)
1. Go on the internet
I am not saying go on the net and check Facebook, or everything like that. You probably do that every 15 min on your phone. My point is go check something new. Type a keyword on Google and visit different websites you have never seen before. I personally like visiting different fashion, DIY or traveling blogs. A great option is the app Pinterest. You will be surprised of all the things on this app. Or you can just play free games online, wihich is pretty random.
2. Go outside
Staying home for a long time, looking at the same furniture and other stuff is usually boring. The best thing you can do is go outside, either for a walk or a ride with your car. Be sure to take your camera with you if you go for a walk. Sometimes, when you are bored, you see the world with a different eye. And if you go for a ride with your car, be sure to tune in your favorite radio station and sing all the songs out loud (even if you don't know the lyrics)
3. Watch Tv
You can either catch-up with your favorite show on Netflix or play your all time favorite movies. Grab a box of pop-corns and make yourself comfortable on your sofa, or bed.
4. Socialize
Yes, I am talking about Facebook or Twitter or any other social media. But don't just like pictures or write comments, send messages to your old friend. When was the last time you talked to a friend you don't see that often? Talk to them, ask them how have they been, talk about the most random things that come across your mind. Grab that phone and call them, if you can. They will be so glad you did so.
5. Dance
Play the Vevo's top 50 songs on YouTube, or any other music you want and just dance. Let your body feel the music and dance like you have never danced before. Think you are the best professional dancer of the world and just....just dance.
6. Get into writing or drawing
Grab a notebook and start writing about anything you want. Close your eyes and think why do you feel bored. You don't have to follow any grammar rules, write in whatever language you want, you can even mix them. Look around you and write about it, make your New Year's resolutions, goal, wishes. You don't like writing? Then draw something that inspires you, a new tattoo, flowers, lines, whatever you want.
7. Take a long bath and be bored
You can do all the things I mentioned and still be bored. There is nothing wrong with it. There are times in our lives when we need to feel bored, it is just the way it is. My advice is to take a long bath. Let your body relax, close your eyes and just sit in silence. Take your time and do all your face/body/skincare routines.
These are my top 7 things to do when you are bored. I hope they are helpful for you. Let me know what you do when you are bored.
Remember: Life is short. Do something to make yourself feel as much happy as you can.
