Hi cecillecarmela, well I listen to good music to release my moods. I just look for something that can make me busy, like writing a poem, or giving a bath to my baby Bobsy my dog. Having a walk with Bobsy, and playing with her. Watch dvd movies on even 3 movies in one day and having a pop corn while watching. I hate boredom, but I know it's just a fleeting moments. Have a nice day to you!

When boredom strikes, I watch television.^_^ Sometimes, I'll find something to do in the computer just like now, posting here in mylot.^_^ When television and computer are already occupied, I'll just call or text my friends and have a chit chat with them.^_^

When i was young, i usually get rid of my boredom by reading books or listen to my favorite music and songs..Sometimes, i also playing online games and do chatting with my friends.I ever been through boredom quite a few number of times, so i know how it feels. Now, i don't have time for boredom because i am a very busy mother, for whole day and everyday. I am looking for some "my" time and still seems can't have it..

I try to keep busy each and every part of the day. I usually have a plan for the next day. If for some reason my plans don't work out then I will watch a good movie, surf the internet or write.

I love to read. You need never be bored with a good book in your hand. I also like to swim, which is easy and free because we have a communal swimming pool a few yards from our home. As we live in Spain, the weather is almost always good enough to swim. We make a point of organising a day or evening out (other than for shopping) at least once a week. That means we always have something to look forward to. If I don't feel like reading or swimming, I play Mahjong online or email friends.

There's all sorts of things to fight the dreaded boredom. I like to work online writing articles and posting here. I play with my dog. I like to draw and paint. I also enjoy playing the flute. Of course, I spend time with my boyfriend and friends as well.

Sometimes i arrange my house, shuffle things n my house that is change their positions and i really enjoy doing it because all the othermembers of my household keep searching for them and approach me. But i enjoy surfing the net for long hours to get srid of boredom. I also watch movies.

Hey, Well some days I am reasonably quite bored, but to actually get over it, I usually go on YouTube and watch some really funny videos. I also reply to some discussions on myLot when I am quite bored, that usually wakes me up though. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Well let's see, to keep myself from getting bored I usually find stuff to get into on the internet or watch TV. If that doesn't do it for me I go wander around in the woods and usually end up going fishing, or at least do something outdoors. Worst case scenario would be to sleep it off and hope for some excitement later on.

I go online and just post here in mylot. lol. I'm so bored today, I'm even commenting on discussions that are posted months ago. lol. Anyway, sometimes though staying too long in front of my laptop makes my head ache, so I turn to reading books or magazines or sometimes, I just watch the television, or watch some movies.

I just moved into a new city and don't know anyone, so I am constantly bored. I usually just go shopping, which is not great for my bank account but it makes me happy AND entertained. I also like to read books, watch movies, go on walks, write on my diary, clean, and gossip with my sister on the phone. And there is always an abundant of things to do on the internet...youtube can keep me well entertained for hours.

I mostly look at things online if I'm bored. However, if I'm so bored that the internet is not working out for me, then I end up trying to clean or read a book or something like that. I do whatever I can to make it easier to get through the day without being bored.

Usually, I'll do activities that I enjoy doing, like reading, writing, watching television or a movie, go for walks, and things like that. These are just somethings that I do, if I'm bored, or need something to do, something to keep me occupied.

To ease the boredom: 1 - Read books : since I haven't buy any new books lately, I will read any book for reread. It won't be so surprising as the first time reading it but less boring. 2 - Surf the net : search for interesting blogs, something new to try or just surfing. MyLotting is a good idea too. 3 - Watch DVDs : new or rerun, just enjoy the show. 4 - Step out : since being inside is boring, just go outside and breath the fresh air. I live in a village, the air is fresh. I can wash the car, water the plants and flowers, etc.
