It always astounds me when I hear someone say, "I'm bored." Unless they've traveled to every continent, mastered a plethora of skills, and know all there is to know about themselves and others, I just can't see how.

There are just so many opportunities surrounding us. A more accurate statement would be, "I don't feel motivated to do anything," which also seems like a stretch when you consider all that one could do. One doesn't have to go to travel to the farthest end of the world to cure their boredom.

You could find excitement from the safety of your home, seat, or even mind. Of course, nothing is stopping you from running out of your house and seeking adventure. To make it even better, most of these are totally free!
