Fighting Boredom Tips
1. Take a good look at your life to figure out why you are bored.
2. Try to look at things in a new way. "Find the fun" in everything you do.
3. Try new things. Shake up your routine.
4. Make a list of things you want to accomplish in life.
5. Resist the urge to make rash decisions or develop unhealthy habits because you're bored.
6. Try to appreciate your life. Remember that being bored is hardly the worst problem you could have.

A person who lives life to the fullest and cherishes every moment can never get bored. This is from experience.

Blink wildly and then close your eyes really tight for an interesting light show

See how long you can hold a note

Try to not think about penguins

Use your secret mind power over others

Pretend you're a robot

Scratch yourself

Rate passers by

Repeat the same word over and over until it loses its meaning

Pinch yourself

Try to swallow your tongue

Pretend to be a car

Make Star Trek door noises

Look at something for awhile, shut eyes, study after image

Get yourself as nauseated as possible

Invent a weird twitch

Make a low buzzing noise

See what's in your neighbour's rubbish/trash

Watch TV, repeat everything said in Italian accent

Send spooky emails

Play our useless games

Pretend all humans will die except for people in room with you

Step off a curb with eyes shut, imagine it's a cliff

Burn things with a magnifying glass

I understand it in only one way... my state depends on how I handle the environment around me .... and by saying environment I mean everything that affects me and gets affected by me... be it friends, family, nature, work, etc. etc.
