Where does boredom live? Will the answer to this question help find an option how to kill time?
The body has five main sense organs - eyes, ears, nose, skin, and tongue. They “catch” all the information from the outside world. If the brain does not get something interesting, the person gets bored. The same happens if this information is incomplete, that is, it does not make the whole picture complete. And what, but completeness, our brain loves. What if you try to speed up the flow of time and get distracted from boredom, trying to influence some organ more than others?
Vision
According to scientific data, a person receives up to 90% of all information coming from outside through vision. For this reason, the lack of brightness and dynamism before the eyes causes the deepest and lingering boredom. How can you spend an hour or two, focusing on visual perception?
- Watch the movie in HD. In this case, it is desirable that the picture looks harmonious, not chaotic.
- Take a walk in the park, forest, any other place where there is an abundance of natural colors and the opportunity to enjoy them.
- Download on computer or laptop colorful interesting game. But phones and tablets are better to be postponed, since they make you strain your eyes more, which causes irritation when bored.
- Visit a museum or exhibition. Art galleries are also a great option.
- Read a magazine, a book, where there are a lot of illustrations or a visual selection of individual words, phrases, paragraphs (print in a different color, play with fonts, use smiles, etc.).
- Go shopping.
- Change the situation - from buying new bright curtains to flying to tropical islands.
It is also a good idea to periodically recall charging for the eyes - and the minutes pass unnoticed, and it is useful for sight.
Hearing
Ears in the amount of information received honorably occupy the second place. Therefore it is good to try to dispel the bored mood with the help of sounds. What can be done?
- Listen to songs or melodies with changeable timbres, speed, dynamics, etc.
- Try yourself as a composer / DJ. There are enough programs on the Internet that allow you to compose music, mix different tracks, and make remixes.
- Go to the club, disco, song or instrumental concert.
- Learn to play a musical instrument.
- Go out, close your eyes and listen. Try to guess which bird belongs to the singing, where the water is noisy and from which side the dog barking comes.
- Test different headphones in the store.
- Turn on the radio. Simple radio stations are a good choice, but it's even better to try to find humorous radio waves.
Sense of smell
Playing a sniffer dog and looking for where the wind brings different smells, sniffing everything and everyone, is maybe a fun, but not the most adequate idea. Fortunately, to kill time with the help of aromas, you can do something more interesting.
- Visit the perfume shop and choose a perfume.
- Go to the flower shop. Determine what flowers smell like more.
- Play with friends in Guess what it smells. The main participant is blindfolded and in turn brings different products to the nose in order to guess their flavor. In the game, you can use any objects with a pronounced smell - food, hygiene, even books or rubber gloves.
- Brew good coffee. A cup of this drink will update the sensitivity of the sense of smell receptors.
- Choose for yourself a good-smelling hygienic product - shampoo, soap, wet wipes. Up to the air freshener.
- Buy aroma sticks or candles with a delicious smell and meditate, not forgetting to light them before starting.
- Enumerate things for washing. Is there an impact on the scent? There is. Lesson kills time? Sure. In addition, it is also a useful thing.
The peculiarity of the sense of smell is that the effect on it and its attendant effect are seldom long-lasting. Such activities are better suited to those who only want to occupy themselves for a while.
Taste
Now to the most pleasant and delicious. Being a little gourmet is a great way to shorten your time. What are the ways?
- Visit your favorite cafe and concentrate all your feelings on the taste of each ingredient and the ordered dish as a whole.
- Sample method to create your salad or cocktail and give it a name.
- Try exotic cuisine.
- Play the game “Guess the Taste” by analogy with “Guess what it smells” (see the “Smell” section).
- Sign up for a cooking course or a master class in making sweets.
- Visit the wine tasting. Samples of new varieties of sausage in the market or on the market are also relevant.
- Test the theory of taste zones in practice. Does the tip of the tongue respond to the sweet more than to the sour salt or bitter?
Tactile sensations
The skin reacts to temperature, pain. She is also responsible for touch. How can you use these features in the fight against slow current time?
- Do needlework - modeling, knitting, embroidery - or manual repair.
- Take a douche - and cheerful and good for health.
- Go for a massage.
- Swim in a warm fragrant bath with foam.
- Find packaging polyethylene with bubbles and burst it. This is the best anti-stress remedy.
- Play with pets, pet their wool.
- In the summer, walk barefoot on the sand or grass. In winter, take a walk in the snow, enjoying the way it squeaks.
This mysterious “sixth sense”
Someone calls it intuition, someone - extrasensory or even magic. However, skeptics say that the 6th sense has a scientific basis. It has nothing to do with something paranormal. Prediction of the future, guessing numbers on roulette now smoothly move to the seventh position.
Because the organ of the sixth sense is ... the vestibular apparatus.
It transmits signals about the position in space, physical balance, as well as acceleration or deceleration, a sense of mass. How can time be accelerated by acting on the vestibular apparatus?
- Ride on a swing, rides in the park, circus.
- Go on a rollerdrom or skating rink.
- Sign up in the circle of acrobatic art.
- Visit a dance workshop. The more pirouettes, the better.
- Go climbing, jump with a parachute and thereby test your fear of heights. Stress causes dizziness, instability - this vestibular apparatus reminds of itself.
- Ride with a professional on a race car.
- Try to learn how to do handstand. For a start, the lessons at the wall will do.
BUT! Testing your vestibular apparatus is better to start small. Why not all astronauts are selected? Because not all of this body is sufficiently developed to fly. He can be trained, but it is better to do it gradually, so as not to harm his own health. If a person is prone to frequent pressure drops, dizziness, it is desirable to start with the simplest swing. Gradually increasing the load, to achieve good results and get rid of boredom at the same time - doable.
You can search for answers to the question “How to kill time?” Forever. However, a more effective method would be to try something. Impact on the senses - one of the options. So why not try it?
