Puzzles are a great way to get unbored. Dig one out of your closet or go buy a new one. Puzzles are fun, challenging, and time consuming. Puzzles are a great way to “get away”; while you are concentrating on putting the puzzle together you might find yourself enjoying this time with yourself thinking about life and what you want to do with it. A puzzle will get your brain working and put it in problem solving mode, which is an exercise many brains are lacking. This can be fun, and is much more productive for your life than letting your mind go blank and watching T.V. for hours. Puzzles can be even more fun if you call someone up and work on it together, chat, and have some snacks while trying to solve them. If you’re bored and feel like you’ve got nothing to do, give it a try. You will enjoy yourself if you make it fun. Boredom is a choice!
Tips for making it interesting:
• Get a custom made puzzle made from a favorite picture of yours, ex// Family, Friends, Memory, etc.
• If you are married, get one made of a special picture with you and your wife from a meaningful time in your life. Don’t tell her what it is and spend time putting it together with her.
• If you really get into it, work your way up difficulty levels stepping it up a notch each time, shoot for one that seems impossible.
