I am blessed with the trait of getting uncomfortable in a comfortable position. When things become repetitive and simple, my mind starts to ponder new challenges. This keeps me on my toes and helps me become a better version of myself.
It’s not always a good story though, as boredom in a comfortable position can be quite painful. I’ve often used distraction as a coping mechanism, but I’ve come to realise that I’m not doing myself any favors. It took some time to acknowledge that boredom is there for a reason, perhaps I need to find a new challenge.
I’m navigating my way through the constant cycle of new challenges, achievements, new normal, boredom, and a new challenge, all with a newfound sense of empowerment.
