I find I do get bored with what I am doing fairly often, which leads me to do some more research into overcoming that boredom and getting back into that mood of excitement!
Through this, I found one of Brendon Burchard's videos entitled "Beating Boredom," where he outlined 4 major points to overcome that feeling of going through the motions, and I thought they were fascinating and wanted to share them.
1) Challenge yourself - go the extra mile to be more present at the moment and bringing value. Intentionally seek out to do it just a little faster, or try out a new idea. We often feel like we are doing the same tasks repeatedly without change, so breaking it up a bit will help us get out of that and make progress on it.
2) Talk to others - start asking other people about their goals and aspirations, what kind of problems they are facing, and turn it into a way of serving them. Start problem-solving with them and work to find solutions. This will get your mind working on new challenges to work through.
3) Re-engage your learning - seek out ways and methods you could go about increasing your knowledge on the subject you feel bored with. If you're regularly learning, and that's a boring task, then try something new, make it different and exciting!
4) Be a leader - become a role model to those around you; whatever you're working on, seek to become the person to imitate. Cause others to look up to you. Paint a bigger picture and strive to go for it. It doesn't matter if it's unrealistic.
