Article of the Week
How to Enjoy Being By Yourself
As an only child, I am an “expert” at being alone with myself. At an early age I became an explorer, a wakeful dreamer, a reader, a writer, a philosopher, a gardener and a dancer. Imagine how surprised I was when I told my children to amuse themselves by exploring the flora and fauna of the neighborhood to create their own natural history museum, they whined, “That’s so boring.” Recently, I have been hearing adults complaining that they are bored too – even on vacation. A portfolio manager vowed that in the future she would make sure to schedule activity after activity to maximize her fun while on vacation. “Taking my sister on her fiftieth birthday to a 4-day all-inclusive vacation in Turks and Caicos was boring with with not much to do. I learned that this kind of trip is not for me!” I responded with, “Delighted to switch with you anytime.”
While new studies assert that it is vital to keep busy to feel happier, many of us might be taking busyness to a new level.
