How boredom makes you Sick?

 How to Banish Boredom That Produces Fatigue, Worry,and Resentment


One of the chief cause of fatigue is boredom. To illustrate, let's take the case of Alice, an executive who lives on your street. Alice came home one night utterly exhausted. She acted fatigued. She had a headache. She had a back ache. She was so exhausted she wanted to go to bed without waiting for dinner. Her mother pleaded. She sat down at the table. The telephone rang. The boy friend! An invitation to a dance! Her eyes sparkled. Her spirit soaked. She rushed upstairs, put on her Alice -blue gown, and danced until three o'clock 8n the morning; and when she she finally did get home, she was not the slightest bit exhausted. She was ,in fact ,so exhilarated she couldn't fall as sleep. 


Was Alice really and honestly tired eight hours earlier, when she looked and acted exhausted? Sure she was. She was exhausted because she was bored with her work, perhaps bored with life. There are millions of Alices. You may be one of them.

It's a well known fact that your emotional attitude usually has far more to do with producing fatigue than has physical exertion. A few years ago, Joseph E . Barkmack, pH.D. published in the Archives of Psychology a report of some of his experiments' showing how boredom Produces Fatigue. Dr. Barkmack put a group of students through a series of tests in which, he knew, they could have little interest. The result?? The students felt tired and sleepy,  complained of headache and eyestrain, felt irritable. In some cases, even their stomach were upset . Was it all imagination "

No , Metabolism tests were taken of these students. These tests showed that blood pressure of the body and the consumption of oxygen actually decrease when a person is bored, and that the whole metabolism pics up immediately as soon as he begins to feel interest and pleasure in his work !

We rarely get tired when we doing something interesting and exciting. For example, I recently took a vaccination in the Canadian Rockies up around Lake Luise. I spent several days trout fishing along Corral  Creek, fighting my way through brush higher than my head , stumbling over logs, struggling through fallen timber- yet after eight hours of this, I was not exhausted. Why ? Because I was excited, exhilarated. I had a sense of high achievement: six cutthroat trout. But suppose I had been bored by fishing, then how do you think I would have felt? I would have been worn out by such strenuous work at an altitude of seven thousand feet. 

Even in such exhausting activities as mountain climbing, boredom may tire you far more than strenuous work involved. 



This is a part of an article I read from 'how to stop worrying and start living' and it really gave me a lesson that if we do what we love and if we love what we do will never make us fatigue and tired . Do what you like , it will be more effective than when you try harder to do something you don't like . If you love something to do mean ,you are capable of doing that for example , your parents asking you to go to a school and teach without wasting what you learnt so far , but you love to become a pastry chef or make cakes . Don't go for teaching you and both students will hate you if you do so . Go do bakery as you like you will reach the peak . Because you love every second when you make a bakery thing and you will try to do better in it . 

So don't waste your time and money on what you are not interested it will Surely make you tired and hate life .
