Did you know that boredom could reduce your level of happiness? Yep, it can. Think about it. How many times have you completed a routine task or even made it through a portion of your day only to realize you don’t remember most of it? It happens a lot, right? So, I have an assignment for you. Before going to bed tonight, write a list of five routine things you do every day that you will change for the rest of the week. It may be your route to work, the coffee you drink, your lunch spot or lunch time, or maybe even part your hair on the other side for a few days. Write down those five things before you go to bed and check them off each day you complete them. This task will require you to engage your brain more than usual thereby reducing boredom and increasing your likely hood for more happy moments in your day. Go ahead – shake things up and let me know how it goes.
