Boredom After Achievement

Three solid ways to keep depression away after achieving a goal

It is only when we fulfill what our heart desires over a short period of time that we then start to feel that we have achieved nothing. The same feeling that got us up and running into all the struggles at first then seems to be back again.

I am sure we at some point continually feel emptiness, boredom, or weariness. The power to which we strive for a goal should not only be ignited when embarking on the proceedings to pursue that goal but should also last during, towards the end, and even after the goal has been achieved.

Apparently, we have all been in situations whereby it seems you are pouring water into a basket, lighting a candle of darkness, or constantly falling in a swirling hole. That even after you have achieved the prompt or consequent objectives that your heart lingers for, the sensation of misappropriation and shrunken contempt then comes to play once more.

Some philosophers and great writers have argued that long-term goals are capable of keeping the mind at ease of fulfillment due course. But even long-term goals are always achieved with the right amount of vigor and hard work. The sensation of boredom that comes to mind would always be as a result of you completing any goal or objective. Thus even the achievement of your long-term goals is not enough fuel to keep the mind in a mirage of positive accomplishments.

The impression to which the mind functions is to constantly be motivated with tasks and aims to trail in subsequent times. Moreover, a vehicle cannot function without fuel, well except if it is an electrically charged motor.

Practically, I feel that the mind can be set up pretty well so as not to be comfortable at the stage where it feels useless or bored by applying this recognized but infamous methods;

A] Determine your perpetual goals.

B] Breaking them into bits of short and long-term goals.

C] Getting involved in flippant goals.

Every one of these methods lined out is a redefinition that human wants are insatiable. As humans, we constantly push for a purpose. One after the other all through our existence and relentlessly search for solace to which we can be pleased with ourselves.

The methods in this content are results of personal observations….

A] Determine your perpetual goals:

It is rather too brisk than rigid to assume that your mind would go from time to time, evolving around various states and conditions without experiencing the scenario of being bored.

Research showed that even the greatest minds and successful fellows have been in situations where they felt useless and pretty weary. By determining your perpetual goals, you would in turn be mitigating the effect of the constant monotony that swirls on you even after completing a task by equally immersing yourself in a continuous system that allows for you to aim farther away at a larger objective.

Also, the lasting result that an individual wishes to achieve from an attempt is his/her perpetual goal. Take for example that you want to become a judge at fifty, you hope to become a billionaire at forty or you want to have had two hundred successful sessions as a surgeon at sixty. All of these prepositions can be categorized as perpetual goals. As they are goals to which you work towards overtime. They are objectives that stand to be achieved with a constant factor of time.

The long span of time that is involved in actualizing perpetual goals will properly set the mind in a persistent tunnel of involvement, where the chances of ever being bored will be minimal.

I solely presume that determining and persistently looking towards your everlasting goal is a very positive way of keeping your mind busy and eloped with fuel and vigor.

B] Breaking them into bits of short and long-term goals:

There is always a structure to which any system works, be it an imaginative or realistic structure. Just like how the military has laid tactics for engaging any form of attack, of which some of the strategies would be to attack in groups while others would be to attack in multitudes.

The same psych applies to the body system which transgresses from a cell to tissue, then from an organ to a system. Every quantity no matter how large is embodied by certain tags and bits. Your perpetual goals are also made whole by every one of those long and short-term goals which we sometimes take with levity. The author of rich dad poor dad, proposed in one of his books that the short and long term goals to attain the position of being financially free as an investor is to first

i) Start up a business

ii) Reinvest in your business

iii) Invest in real estate

iv) Let your money buy you luxuries

This implies that every one of these short goals is aimed at getting you to a stage where you would be financially stable.

Your short-term goals might be little achievements ranging from acing an examination or signing a business deal. While your long-term goals might range from making partners at your office to receiving your doctoral degree.

Putting your perpetual goals into bits of short and long-term goals would subsequently set your mind in a systematic array of tasks to be achieved either in clans of months, years or decades. Thereby keeping your mind busy enough to duck falling back to the feeling of weariness.

C] Getting involved in flippant goals:

I call them flippant goals because they might seem way out of line or of less importance. No knowledge is lost, it is surreal that they would be of immense help when the need arises. A study revealed that an average human at seventy years has only used one-third of his/her brain capacity.

What then would it take you to engage yourself in any activity open to you, that would keep you busy even after you just achieved a goal. Flippant objectives could just be learning to play the piano, learning to type pretty fast, or developing any skill for engrossment’s sake.

I utterly believe that the outside world only gets to celebrate your menial and loud achievements with you regardless of, whether or not you have found solace within yourself. The real feeling of such comfort should not be determined in a short while but it should rather be infinitesimal.
