What do you do when you’re bored?

Ladybug5

What places are good to go to when you don’t have social battery but feel bored and want to go out and do something. Not necessarily just a walk but to go and do a ‘task’. I wanted to go to the cinema but there weren’t any movies out that I wanted to watch. 

what kind of things do you do when you’re bored/lonely? I’ve just been doing lots of drawing

    I find reading great for recharging.

    It gives a single focus, a way to empty the mind of irritating thoughts, helps the body relax from the tensions of the day and enriches your mind.

    Different types of book give different results - for example I'm reading:

    The Lord of The Rings by JRR Tolkien as it is wonderfully immersive and written in a way that makes you not want to stop. It is great, escapist fantasy that makes me forget the troubles of the world.

    Divergent Mind - Thriving in a World That Wasn't Designed for You - Jenara Nerenberg (2020) - great for deepening my understanding of autism and gives me a sense of purpose to be able to help give tips to others.

    Evan Ross Katz - Into Every Generation a Slayer Is Born,How Buffy Staked Our Hearts (2022) - biography of an actor from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. A nice bit of lightweight reading around a subject I like (I'm rewatching the 7 seasons of it now) and that gives me a sense of knowing more about the whole subject. Easy to pick up and put down unlike The Lord of The Rings.

    I also have an extensive collection of sci-fi and fantasy films for when I don't feel like doing anything much or my hands hurt from my work (construction at the moment) and I don't want to hold a book.

    I love reading. I just find it hard to start books but once I do I really do enjoy it
