Instead of waiting for someone to rescue you from boredom, take control. Book a holiday, begin a creative project or take up a hobby. Venturing into unfamiliar territory will renew your enthusiasm for life. If you're in a relationship with someone who never wants to try anything new, it's time to have a talk. You've always had a great deal of intellectual curiosity. When forced to do the same thing day after day, you become bored and irritable. It's time to develop a solution to this problem.
