it's ok to be boring

I am choosing to live a boring life. But that doesn't mean that I don't think about that.
Especially as a content creator I sometimes feel like I need to have a more exciting life. But boring can be beautiful, it can offer balance, reduce stress and just be very intentional.

"Boring" is a judgement, not a fact. "Drama-free" is another beautiful way to look at it. It's only boring if you're bored. And you clearly are not bored! <3

I was a successful career women, traveling, managing people, making decisions. I enjoyed it (mostly) but it was also very stressful, and I often yearned to "just be a housewife." Now I'm retired and I get to do everything that I love every single day. I meal plan to my heart's content, I cook, I bake, I read, I walk. All "boring" things to many people, I guess, but I absolutely adore it. I'm not bored, I'm content, and now that I'm older, I realize that contentment (which is calm and lasting) is far better than "happiness", which tends to be a fleeting high.

Hey everyone, thank you for watching the video! I am currently in Switzerland and will not have access to the internet when this video goes live, because I am spending some time in the mountains... I hope you like it and I will of course look at the comments once I am back!

Calling a "boring" life "calm and balanced" is such a beautiful way to spin it to a more positive mindset 😊

Ive realised, As an Autistic person, I greatly value my boring life :o) It has given me routine and stability, Time to rest and recuperate when i need it and most of all just makes me happy x

Having a boring life is the best thing because when people think you are boring then you are trully enjoying your life

[spiritbeingapotheca]

I crave and love "boring", because I don't get bored, I get contentment and time to process life

I love my "boring" life! My partner and I love reading, going on walks and playing board games while drinking tea. That must sound boring to most people but i've never been more "in tune" with myself than in the last few years, ever since I stopped saying "yes" to social outings and activities I just dislike to please people.

Thank you. Just what I needed to hear! Having a “boring” life does not mean you are bored, and it does not mean you are boring! The most boring people I know are those fast-lane “influencers.” Great, timely lesson. Love your insights.

[desideriaalex]

U are not boring 😄 just normal and honest. Most of the people show a fake life. Not real one. So don't worry 😊

[hristiyanamitev]

I feel tremendously great when I am alone... I feel a bit sad around people and when that awful comparison starts. But every time I try to do something ''exciting'' I quickly want to return to my ''boring'' everyday life with such a relief

I enjoy my simple life, I live in Switzerland and colleagues are always traveling, they don't understand that I can take vacations at home and have pleasure by relaxing, working on myself, do things I don't have the energy to do during work weeks, etc.

I love and enjoy my boring everyday life. I like being at home, and before I go away somewhere I can’t wait to come back to my microworldand enjoy my boredom

[kimchininja]

I'm the epitome of boring! So many people are looking for the next adrenaline rush through some expensive activity or new thing to buy. I used to be this way. I'm learning to enjoy the simple life, simple things, and just being quiet. Like just walking my dog is enjoyable now. I think the big 'influencers' (on Instagram especially) have caused so many to buy more than they need, and to be be dissatisfied with their lives. Thank you for being real and relatable! So many I started watching become totally non-relatable.

Let this be your encouragement, we here 🤗watching you cause we love your humanness. I’m here because your simplicity and authenticity. We are alike, my life is slow, quiet, and some would say boring.

Your no frills approach is so rare on the internet. You remind me to do what best for me and to live a eco conscious life.

[susanwong]

I love how down-to-earth and authentic you are. Don't apologize for being "boring, " you are real and honest. I admire the quiet joy you exude.

[misty]

I am boring and so happy. I come from a long line of boring women. But really I think boring people are more interesting.

[Robert-qmld]

Whenever my life has been what others might consider interesting it's also been stressful and I dislike stress more than I like interesting.

I have always had a life full of adventures and every day was different. People always were impressed with my "strong personality", but what they didn't see, was that I was just trying to run away from home where I didn't feel safe. I struggled a lot. The only thing I wanted for myself was a quiet and safe place to live. Thankfully, after years of only trying to survive day by day, I found this place, at the beggining of the pandemic. I let myself do nothing now. I really do nothing. These are the happiest days of my life, even if I don't hear "wows" every day from random people. I don't care about other's attention, never really did. For me, peace and simplicity are so much more valuable than adrenaline and "being uniqe". I'm sure, I'm boring for everyone that knows me superficially, but I don't care. I have much to say, if only someone is willing to listen.
Love you, for your common sense <3

Hi Lia.
If you ask lots of people what they would really like their life look like when they are working full time, paying mortgage /rent, bringing up children, and other responsibilities ( maybe elderly parents, Club or social commitments, Church life ) they would say more time at home, time to eat and enjoy meals, taking walks in a calm or pretty place, good nights sleep, cooking from this sounding familiar😊
There is absolutely nothing boring about that. It is what many people aspire to . I know I definitely did. Friends too.
Carry on being absolutely you.
