It seems lately that I just seem to be dragging. Dragging myself out of bed, dragging myself to the car, dragging myself to do housework, sew, play on the floor, just dragging along. As I'm dragging along I'm sorting what seems today like endless piles. One of these piles was the one next to my bed where I tend to gather lots of varied reading material.
I opened a magazine to sort through it. My idea of sorting a magazine is to pull out the pages that I'm interested in and file them until needed. It works for me and has helped me control my own personal paper mess. This particular magazine had an article about being tired. It listed these as the possible causes: lack of exercise (I think I'm probably back above 10,000 steps a day), needing a nap (took one and it is correct in stating that more than 20 minutes is worse than none at all), stress ( is that ever an option?), winter darkness, (nope still wearing sunscreen every day because of car pool), and this last one was something called boredout as compared to burnout. "We know about burnout, from doing too much, but there's also 'boredout,' caused by doing too little. The longer you're bored, the less energy you have and the more likely that this temporary feeling can become permanent."
So am I just running too slow a circle or maybe I need a new circle. I still strongly believe boredom is a choice made by the person who is bored. I'd better get busy.
