Everyone has moments when they're bored or troubled - some, more than others, especially during holiday times.
So, what's to do about it?
I once heard someone say, "Do something, even if it's wrong".
NOT good advice.
But the 'Do something.' part, is right on! Anyone can find something of interest, constructive, informative, helpful, energetic, creative, or even some cleaning, to do.
One thing for sure - boredom or dwelling on problems, however large or small - past or present, do not qualify here for a list of 'something to do'.
Saying 'Cheer up'to the bored or troubled certainly does not cut it, either.
Those who are bored or troubled can more successfully feel better by initiating action on their own.
