On a behavioral level, boredom has been linked with problems with impulse control, leading to overeating and binge eating, drug and alcohol abuse, and problem gambling. Boredom has even been associated with mortality, lending grim weight to the popular phrase \"bored to death.\"</p>\n<p>Although it's clear that boredom can be a serious problem, the scientific study of boredom remains an obscure niche of research, and boredom itself is still poorly understood. Even though it's a common experience, boredom hasn't been clearly defined within the scientific community.</p>\n<p>Boredom can be defined as \"an aversive state of wanting, but being unable, to engage in satisfying activity,\" which arises from failures in one of the brain's attention networks.</p>\n<p><strong>Specifically, we're bored when:-</strong></p>\n<ul>\n <li>We have difficulty paying attention to the internal information (e.g., thoughts or feelings) or external information (e.g., environmental stimuli) required for participating in satisfying activity</li>\n <li>We're aware of the fact that we're having difficulty paying attention</li>\n <li>We believe that the environment is responsible for our aversive state (e.g., \"this task is boring,\" \"there is nothing to do\").</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If we feel that we are bored, then we must take a break from our regular schedule. Although it may or may not solve boredom, but it can not harm either. The probability is that if you go for a trek and heavy gym schedule or even an adventure trip then it can bring new enthusiasm and that can probably solve the issue of \"getting bored\". The new engagement with a completely new task is often proved to solve boredom.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pk22wzuap","appParentAuthor":"wolf-kinght","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
