I often feel bored too,now that I;m a stay at home.Maybe because I used to work and leave the house everyday.Now that I'm just taking care of my daughter I'm happy to be with her but I can't hide the fact the I'm bored and sometimes I feel worthless,not that I'm doing nothing (in fact I do a lot of chores at home),it's just that I feel that I have worth whenever I'm working in an office.Yes I aslo wonder if is related to stress because I'm also stressed out at home doing everything for my husband and my baby.What I do to feel a little less bored is reading books and magazine.I love reading it's like I'm being introduced to a different world and at the same time I can relate to the characters in the novel.I love reading books from Oprah's book club selections.I also go out to the park or mall and buy something for myself (even small stuff can make you happy).I also write here in mylot and it gives me a sense of freedom to express myself.I also exercise and listen to good music because by doing such activities our body releases endorphins which they call happy hormones.

when im bored at work or such i usually walk around and enjoy the cool breeze and the scenery. It usually lessen my stress and always makes me happy after that.

Oh there are so many great things you could do when you feel boredom coming on! Usually the first thing I do is hop online. I sometimes work on my online earning sites, other times I might play games or mess around on Facebook. If I really don't want to be online then I may go and grab a book or magazine - I love to read! If I feel like doing something outside then I may go for a walk or maybe even go for a drive. Visit some place new. Go to a book store and just browse. I love going to the book store or library and just browsing to find new authors! Call up a friend or family member and see if they want to meet up for a cup of coffee or tea and catch up. Pop in a movie or turn on the TV and see what's playing. Do a crossword or word search - I love those kinds of puzzles, they really help pass the time. Don't let yourself get too bored - there are lots of great things you could be doing right now :-)
