Emptiness

Very good question that actually made me think about it for a moment. What bores me is that state of having nothing to solve, no riddle, no errors, no issues, no challenges. Dopamine kick addict? Possibly 😀

Addicted to Keeping mind constantly busy..

But I have noticed that if I am stuck without major challenges for my brain for a bit longer, I come up with things to keep my mind (and chatgpt lately!) busyyy, e.g: prompting to find out how much money there is on Earth including different assets like properties etc. (try it, you would be surprised!), what is a chance that on the street or airport I bump into a random stranger that I argued on social media with 😁, is short-term rental in my region a good idea (that one is a bit more normal 🤭), or if I don’t have any ideas, I just start calculating random things like how old I am in days, how many bank holidays there are in different countries and compare full time job total time in minutes/hours/days or just ask chatgpt for a career advice (surprisingly it is consistent with responses even though I do it logged off) or look at adverts to buy a puece of land at the lakeside somewhere (one day).

But you can imagine this state can be pretty tiring, so when I am finally done with keeping my mind busy, I go to the nature. Forest, lake, see. I take my mind away from this very place to mentally ‘travel’ to a random place where onky conscious and a free soul can go, with no deadlines, no pressure, no projects, no houseworks to catch with, but just that soundtrack from Gladiator movie on loop in my head – and peace..

And in that moment I don’t need any dopamine or triggers, I just enjoy the moment and make the most of it…

That is how I keep my mind sane. And what are your ways of recharging batteries? 🌺 Do you have your ways to deal with boredom? Please share 🤗
