Keeping your mind busy is essential for a productive and healthy life.
This is a publication based on the suggested topic proposed in the Hive Learners community through their discord, which on this occasion is "An Idle Mind".
Staying bored is more of a problem, because generally today people who are bored, (and it has been this way throughout the history of humanity), generally engage in doing things that are not productive, doing stupid things. . Young people start inventing stupid things and that is when accidents and things happen that could have really been avoided if precautions were taken. It is very important to always have a busy mind. Nowadays with the Internet it is difficult for anyone to get bored, especially the new generations because they have these social networks and they play video after video on their cell phones, it is practically impossible for them to get bored with so many stupid videos that there are. , so much content to enjoy on social networks, memes, movies. Particularly when I have nothing to do, the first thing I try is to read one of the books I have on my computer. I am a big fan of reading. I currently have a couple of books to read that were recommended to me. They recommended me to read "Atlas Shrugged", which is a book about businessmen and such that seems very interesting, it was recommended to me by a good friend with whom I had a long conversation during these nights, and that way I don't get bored reading. I also usually start drawing, practicing pixel art techniques and this helps me a lot to stay active, to overcome that time of boredom. It is always at hand to watch a good movie, it is always at hand for people who are more active to start exercising, they dedicate themselves to doing an exercise routine, they go jogging and they don't easily get bored that way. A few years ago when I had better eyesight and I had glasses that were not expired like these, I dedicated myself to knitting, I spent my time knitting and it is something that I like. Maybe in the future if I have more free time, then I will get back into knitting because it is something that I like, it catches my attention. It seems to me like making small mazes and small crossword puzzles by weaving them. It seems to me to be a very interesting craft work with which one can be distracted and enjoy. Keeping an active mind is very important. I know that all people at some point in their lives will be, let's say, bored, but it is important that they distract themselves at that moment by doing something that is productive for them, that helps them move forward, that is an activity that preferably produces some benefit. Let's say in health or intellectual, or something that contributes to your society, something that contributes. For example, if the person is bored they can dedicate themselves to watering the plants or taking care of the plants, which is something that I like to do very frequently, because I feel like I am in another world. Watching plants grow, talking to them, caressing them and seeing how this really has an effect on them is very beautiful. I really like the world of botany and I have a very good ability to work with plants. I am given the cultivation of plants. Here I have several aloe vera, I have had mint plants and other things and in some way also gardening and the treatment of plants, botany, is something that helps me distract my mind. So there are many options to combat boredom. This is my black cat "manclar", this account is to honor his dead (it happened years ago). Thumbnail image maded using Bing AI and edited with Canva.com

People are now occupied with social media, and creating content and I do not think this generation can't be bored like when there is no phone, it is always good to be active and create new things whenever you feel like boredom is finding its way into your mind.
The truth is that yes, social networks absorb all their time, the truth is that I spend more time online in hive and discord, doing things related to the hive, and the rest of the time, I spend reading.
I also do not think people still get bored nowadays especially people with a smartphone and data to connect to the internet, lot of funny stuffs are online to watch, one can also cure boredom by chatting, if that stil doesn't work, lot of interesting movies to watch.
Movies and series are always a very good option for entertainment, and younger people have thousands of online games to overcome challenges, which they always like more, I suppose it is a trending topic among young people 😂
It is important to keep the mind always occupied in productive things, nowadays people waste a lot of time in silly things, especially in the social network TikTok, it is not bad to be distracted watching one or another video, but it is worrying when hours are invested in that. Eventually an addiction is generated. My grandmother also liked to knit and read a lot 🤗, that kept her active and busy doing something good @manclar.
Tik Tok eats people's brains, and some animals too, look what happened to "the little owl" the penguin ate his brain hahahaha.
I love knitting, maybe one day I'll challenge your grandmother to a competition. 😂
I'm a little confused by this post. What's wrong with being bored? I love laziness, doing nothing, if I were a millionaire I would be a big sloth, the most still plant in the world....
Best regards @manclar
There is nothing wrong with boredom, I have been the one who twisted the topic of the day which is "An idle mind" and I have written more or less what to do to not get bored.
Remember that these topics are focused on a community with a purpose...to make its members active.
Que viva el lavado de cerebro, y el comeflorismo (pero lejos de mi ambos) 😂
This community is definitely not for trees.
Well, I'm very afraid not, but if we accept poisonous plants and trees, and the occasional sequoia, that is not more than a thousand years old.
I am afraid that plants, poisonous trees and sequoia will not want to be part of a club of beings who do not know how to be bored.
Well then there is nothing to do, is there? Wait for tomorrow's topic, which is... looking in the mirror.
The new generations don't need to be bored. They don't have time for a long film, they don't have time for a long "something", so they don't have time to be bored for more than the duration of a Tik Tok video. 😄
Considero que el aburrimiento es cuando dependes de cosas externas para sentirte bien, son sensaciones distintas, tener flojera relajado y abstraido , a sentir aburrimiento lo cual da un poco de sensación de inconformidad, yo hoy día difícilmente me aburro, pues, siembro tocó algún instrumento, el internet limitado porque trabajo con datos , y me gusta aprender y oír tutoriales , me hace olvidar de la ineptitud política, que eso sí me aburre escuchar, y olvidó la estreches económica, he visto jóvenes aburrirse aún teniendo buen internet, pues tantas horas frente a la pantallita satura y cansa, en general, hay momentos que decido no hacer nada solo observar la lejanía viendo el cielo azul unirse con algún monte verde y escuchar los ruidos lejanos de algun pájaro o gente , eso produce un estado agradable. Cómo una cosquillas muy sutil en el pecho, y descansas por ese momento
