Monotony refers to the action of always doing the same activities, without changing anything at all. For example, a person gets up, has breakfast, goes to work, comes back in the afternoon, does chores, goes to sleep and the next day does the same thing again and so on every day of his life.
Monotony can arise in different contexts, in love, at work, etc. Its consequences can negatively impact a level psychological, because it can give rise to the emergence of a sense of dissatisfaction, boredom, poor performance, up to the point of unhappiness.
When you are in a relationship, monotony is linked to the daily routine, always having to do the same things, without trying to look for new things, new experiences, that is, both parties can enjoy the relationship. The monotony in this case, can seriously damage life as a couple. Many of the causes of separations or divorces are due to monotony. When the couple feels that the relationship is boring, that there is nothing to inject emotion, that is when conflicts begin.
Many therapists recommend their patients to put aside the routine and have the audacity to do new things, in this way they will not fall into monotony.
The person can put an end to this heaviness, with small things, for example, if when going to work, he took the same street, now that he does it for another, or if it was customary to take the elevator to get to his office, well let him go down the stairs; or if you are one of those who usually leave work and go straight home, then grab a day and go to the mall to see stores, etc. In short, try to get out of the ordinary and venture to new things.
This breaking with the routine can be beneficial for people's mental health, since the brain needs that push to stay active, since in the long run, monotony brings dissatisfaction and unhappiness in those who live in it.
