Wait, isn't this just assumed? This seems normal.

It’s normal to a degree, but when you’re rapidly transitioning from one state to the next it can be very uncomfortable.
Define "rapidly"...
Does more or less every few days count?
I see. Maybe I'm normal after all.
Ok I kept reading "Until I'm bored, then I love excrement" and thought this was a kink post.
Having the luxury to occasionally work from some random other part of the world is my true joy in life... and it's always scary as fuck for the first week or so.
Greener grass...
Boredom and monotony go hand in hand.
This too shall pass. Try to enjoy the process of transitioning from one rhythm to the next.
By enjoying you mean vibing the anxiety?
Maybe. It depends on the situation. If I’m feeling anxious to the point where it is hindering my ability to enjoy existing then I use that as the trigger to take action. First step for me is usually identifying the source of my anxiety. Sometimes this is easy, but sometimes this is the most difficult part. I do this by using a combination of thinking and movement. Am I sitting at my desk? Maybe I should get up and stretch. Am I pacing back and forth? Maybe I should sit and start writing my feelings/thoughts down.
Once I’ve identified the source of my anxiety I use the knowledge and experience I’ve accumulated up to this point to determine a strategy for dealing with the source of my anxiety.
For example: I might be feeling anxious on a Saturday night because I’m home alone watching anime and I feel like I’m wasting my life. If I truly believe my anxiety arises from a feeling of not doing or engaging with anything in a meaningful way, then that gives me a direction to move in. What’s something I can do that feels meaningful? Maybe the answer is to call my brother, or leave my apartment and take a walk, or read a book. The answer can be whatever “feels” right. And if nothing feels right then I dig a layer deeper and repeat the process.
Huh, I'm going to try this mindset out next time I feel anxious
Damn nice healthy coping habits.
Im always struggling with using cannabis edibles to flatten my worries and then i have trouble transitioning back to innate happiness that isnt from the euphoria.
Im getting better though, i think.
I have a hundred ways to fix boredom. Give me a stress free routine all my life please.
