Best Things Adults can do When They Get Bored

December 21, 2017 by John Telford

Why do we get bored? This is something that has puzzled scientists for a long time – why do we get bored? There’s no reason for this to happen, since there are so many things we can do in our modern lives. And yet it still happens, more and more regularly.

Different people have different responses to it, of course. Some people actively find things to do, although this is not always advisable; other people place the burden of their entertainment on another person, to avoid the fact that they can’t amuse themselves in the same way that others can. Read on for some ways to fill your time when you get bored.

First of all, you need to realise that you are bored. This might seem counterproductive, but realising that you are bored is what gives you the power to change things for the better, and get rid of your boredom. Realise that you are bored, and you will also realise that you are responsible for changing that fact, and that the capability of doing so is literally at your fingertips.

Using your imagination is a good way to alleviate boredom, no matter how it is used. If you need to have a purpose for everything you do, write a story – you can do this anyway, and then afterwards decide if you want to do anything with it.

Carry pen and paper everywhere. You don’t need to write down everything, but occasionally noting ideas and events down can stimulate your curiosity and intrigue, which can lead to less boredom, as you spend time thinking about what you are writing. This can also work with a sketch pad.

Curiosity is a human trait, but some people are more curious than others. Even if you aren’t naturally as curious as other people, try and look into something that interests you as a cure for being bored. You never know what you might find out, and as a bonus, you will pass the time more quickly.

Act spontaneously. This also comes up as one of the tips for adults who date, as spontaneity can be a good trait for some people. Spontaneity can lead you out of your normal routine (which might be what is causing your boredom), and give you something new and interesting with which to interest yourself.

Begin writing. This is a step up from simply using your imagination, as coming up with a story is the stated goal from the start. Your writing project can be anything you want it to be; fiction, non-fiction, long or short.  Everything is up to you.

You could also volunteer with an organisation of your choice. This has multiple advantages to it – not only do you get something which occupies your time and as well as your mind, therefore curbing boredom on multiple fronts, the organisation you are helping (and the people it serves) will benefit from your work. Choose a programme which needs help, but which also interests you.

5 romantic hotspots for lovers who travel

October 15, 2017 by John Telford

I have always enjoyed combining my love for other things in life such as surfing, wine drinking and climbing but there is something else that I like to combine with my travels, romance. Throughout the years, my partner and I have been to some of the most romantic spots in the world and I wanted to share a few of them with you. If you are looking for inspiration as to where to take your loved one for your next trip, here are some passionate places where you could go.

Paris

They call Paris the city of love and very often these titles are not lived up to, Paris thankfully, most definitely does. There is just something in the air in the French capital which you can’t put your finger on, but most certainly feel, love really is in the air here. On the other hand, for lovers in Paris who are into anal sex, your partner’s bottom is certainly something you can put your finger on. If you’re uncomfortable with that, you can make use of sex toys such as lp anal beads to help you during your sexy times. I love Paris because of the sights such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame cathedral, as well as the romantic activities which you can do. Float with your loved one down the Seine at sunset, lovelock one of its bridges, drink red wine in a hidden away bistro and kiss under the Arc de Triomphe, the perfect city for lovers.”

Turks and Caicos Islands

The Caribbean has plenty of perfect getaways for couples but the pick of the bunch for me is the Turks and Caicos islands. This place is pure paradise, the straight-out-of-a-postcard sort of location where you can relax in each others company in pure bliss. These quiet islands give you the chance of complete seclusion, surrounded by white beaches, palm trees and crystal ocean. Paradise should be enjoyed by lovers which makes the Turks and Caicos a perfect destination.

Santorini

Of all the Greek islands it is Santorini that steals the show, the jewel in the crown of the Aegean sea, this small island offers plenty for getaway couples. Santorini ‘s houses and villas which hug the coast are the whitewashed buildings which you normally see when people talk about Greece. I really liked the choice between seclusion and getting involved here in Santorini and aside from the amazing food, my partner and I really enjoyed getting involved in the local culture.

The Maldives

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about the Maldives, sat deep in the heart of the Indian Ocean you can stay in small, secluded huts above the water, on your own slice of the planet. The idea of a romantic getaway for me is a little adventure with lots of time spent enjoying my partners company. If this sounds like your idea of romance too, then the Maldives is the best option for your getaway.

Florence

Italy offers a huge amount of places for romantic getaways but Florence has to be my favorite. This was the classic Italy that I had seen in movies, a city with art throughout the streets, good food, music, dancing, Florence really had it all. As far as romance goes, it doesn’t get more romantic than sitting in an ornate square, listening to opera and drinking a fresh white wine with your partner, and that is why Florence is perfect.
