There is another kind of boredom. This is known as?anhedonia.?Anhedonia is the inability to experience pleasure from activities that usually give pleasure.

?I have seen this in clients and myself when it comes to overtraining. Exercise is an enjoyable activity, but when we have pushed it too far it becomes a burden and we no longer feel like doing it.

Pleasure Is About Survival

We will always seek out behaviors that cause us pleasure. It is how we have survived for millions of years.?We eat food, dopamine is released, we feel good, and we do it again.
