<p>It’s all worse when you’re bored [Eating, drinking, anxiety, depression, etc] | RISE Macclesfield | Group Personal Training gym weight loss programmes</p> <p><br></p> <p>We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>I came to a realisation the other day.</p> <p>You know the things we might struggle with?</p> <p>Eating or drinking too much.</p> <p>Sedating.</p> <p>Maybe our mood?</p> <p>Depression.</p> <p>Anxiety.</p> <p>Worry.</p> <p>They’re all made worse by one thing.</p> <p>Boredom.</p> <p>I’m not saying that it’s the entirety of any of those things (before anyone feels the need to reply and say that)…………</p> <p>But it makes many (if not all) of them worse doesn’t it?</p> <p>The human brain is a problem solving machine.</p> <p>And, when it’s not engaged in solving high value problems…………..</p> <p>It’s prone to creating new ones………….</p> <p>Or increasing the perceived severity of others.</p> <p>When we’re engaged in something that we’re enthused about being involved in…………</p> <p>Those other things are less likely to rear their heads, aren’t they?</p> <p>When we’re bored, they make their presence known more frequently and more intensely.</p> <p>Where we often go wrong is by focussing on the wrong problems.</p> <p>Or none at all.</p> <p>Avoiding challenge just creates other challenges.</p> <p>We do what we feel we “should do”.</p> <p>What we’ve been “taught” is important.</p> <p>By society, our parents and others around us.</p> <p>Neglecting the fact that we’re not really all that interested in or bothered by those things.</p> <p>And it doesn’t inspire us.</p> <p>Doesn’t get us up in the morning wanting to get our teeth into the day.</p> <p>Because we value what we’re doing and how it ties into what’s important to us.</p> <p>Instead we get bored.</p> <p>And all those other things become more likely!</p> <p>Much love,</p> <p>Jon ‘Panda’ Hall</p> <p>P.S.
