How to Stop Feeling Bored with Your Job

Have you taken on a new project to combat boredom only to become bored again in a short while?  A conditioned mind cannot provide new ways of seeing and relating to feelings and experiences. Our habits and stories often remain the same even when the situation changes.  In one sense we desire to break free from boredom and yet no one other than ourselves holds us captive in our old ways of thinking.  Without awareness, our chances of getting caught in boredom over and over again are very high.        

Before looking for distractions to overcome boredom, ask yourself how much of your time is spent mindfully or mindlessly?  Mindlessness keeps us stuck in our ways, whereas mindfulness provides new insights, new ways of being effective and glimpses into our hidden talents.

Mindfulness is a choice we make in each moment and every choice begins in the now.  Over time, it will reprogram your brain, helping you to overcome boredom and be more engaged at work.
