THE GOOD VIBES FROM BOREDOM

Every single day of our life is full of activities. Whether the activities are just stay in the same position or in this millennial generations called stuck. The people who working at the company had habit to go to the company and do the same job all day as they have been received before.  Are they feeling bored?. Or are they feel comfortable with the same job they did every day?. According to heathline.com boredom is marked by an empty feeling, as well as a sense of frustration with that emptiness. Those people will feel that. Even though it is not often happened in their life. Several of them will choose the first options on the other hand, they will choose it's okay to do the same job every day. Then, what the good vibes from boredom?. Are you ever thinking about this?. Thinking about "Well, I didn't know that the boredom can give us good benefit.

The people who agree with this will say that is a new way to see the other side of boredom. As Sandi Mann said there are 2 reasons why boredom is good:

Firstly, boredom make us creative. As Mann said “if we can’t find that, our mind will create it.”  From there, we can get the meaning that’s boredom can create creativity with our mind.

Secondly, for the mental health boredom also has it. As Mann said “day-dreaming is part of boredom. Day-dreaming called enough for the rest. The rest from all of around you. For the adult people can rest from work, for the students can rest from the task, games or another application that’s make them tired and losing focus, and for the age quite to married can rest from their relationship that’s make their mental health.  

Furthermore, according to some psychologists believe boredom is a trait. The ‘Boredom Proneness Scale’ measures our propensity to feel bored. By contrast, the ‘Multidimensional State Boredom Scale’ measures a person’s feelings of boredom in a given situation. It is because is a dynamic state where it will change sometimes.

 As Canadian professor, Eastwood said that 2 types of personality that suffer from boredom, and neither is particularly dull. He did because to claims that’s perceptions “only boring people get bored.”

The first type, the people who had an impulsive and looking for a new experience.

The second type, the people who had frightened about the world. They are trying to out of their line. This is because they had pain in before.

            However, boredom can do it in the right way. Mann says “Important not to conflate boredom with relaxation.” She suggested picking the activities that need a little struggle or without concentration like walking in the similar area, swimming or just sit in the chair with the closed eyes, it’s also let your mind. In addition, Mann said that is paradoxically both destroying our ability to be bored, and preventing us from ever being truly entertained. Also, she said “We’re trying to swipe and scroll the boredom away, but in doing that, we’re actually making ourselves more prone to boredom, because every time we get our phone out we’re not allowing our mind to wander and to solve our own boredom problems,”. Mann also pointed out to “Our tolerance for boredom just changes completely, and we need more and more to stop being bored.”

In conclusion, boredom is empty feeling for some reasons. Every body believe that boredom is a trouble, but on the other hand there are people who disagree about that. To the people who agree to this statement, there are many good things that will you get from boredom. The good things are; make us creative as Mann pointed that it’s we can find, our mind create it, the part of one boredom is day-dreaming, day-dreaming also called enough rest, in addition Mann recommendation to picking the activities that need a little struggle or without concentration like walking in the similar area.

You can do or receive another that will suit with you. Just believe everything has a positive meaning and good vibes though.

The Transitions Of Writing

    What do you think about your childhood?. Playing traditional games with your friends from morning to dewfall or you keep on your games until your mother called you to comeback home?. Or are you fall in love at the first sight with someone make your weird heart?.  There are many things that you remind about ‘childhood’.

    According to literacy.org.uk in 2021, there are 34.5% young people and children enjoy while they writing. The children and young people agreeing writing make them feel better. In another words, Writing as a support system for children and young people mental wellbeing.

     When I was a young age, especially in elementary school. I don’t remember that grade, but I had a diary book. That diary comes from my friends, they give a diary as a birthday gift. Early, I wrote many words in there. One day, I could write more than 2 pages. The writing that I write is about my activity in that day. As time goes by, I rarely write my activity in my diary. I just write in different book that I had. When I was felt sad and had unhappy moment, I will write in that book (no longer in diary).

    In 2016, when I was 14 years old. In junior high school, I’m writing so many words in post of facebook. It contains quotes, greeting (e.g. good morning, friends. Don’t forget to eat, pray, etc..), Advertisement of event or anything about that. Because I have been a member of Student council. I’m one of person that active in social media. It happens because I’m still young, especially young age.

    After graduating from junior high school, I continuing my study in Vacational high school. Specifically major in electrical engineering. Although I learned a lot of electrical theory and a lot of practice. Also, I studying another lesson. Including Indonesia language lesson taught me how to writing ‘makalah’ very well. I and my friends in our groups working hard to done it. We rewrite many theoris. Finally, because of working hard we had been finish it. On the other hand, I had writing task one of them is making ‘field practice report’. The writing is not about theory that I have been learned before, but what I learn and do in that company. During do that writing report, I learn a lot of how to way work together and work well.

    In the university, I’m learning technique of writing. Mostly in writing lessons. There are many theories how to write as a professional.  As Janet Mizrahi said in his book “Writing for the workplace” there are 3 ways to writing as a process, that’s is: AWE (Assess, Write, and Edit). Assess is knowing the audience is imperative for successful writing. In asses is completing audiences characteristic. Write is including information from you gathered. Avoid plagiarism with adding sources or references in your writing. The last is Edit, Edit is looking at the overall effectiveness of each paragraph.

    Now, when I’m starting to write something I had in my mind, I will write soon. Because of I will forget if I have not do that. Indeed, writing is a good way to share the problems. If we don’t have any people to share that story, you can share on writing at all of media, manual writing on the book or digital writing in notebook. Writing is not about write words that you want. But, also you can searching a lot of data and fact that attached with your written. It will be a nice written. The readers also can easily to read and understanding the meaning of the words.

    Those are my transitions in writing. It was hardly, but step by step I learned a lot of way to good at writing. I think my writing good enough to read and for the meaning I hope it will be easy to understanding. I hope my experiences in writing will help and be inspired you guys to write what you want. Then, in the future I hope I can write continuously.
