Boredom
We’ve lost the ability to be bored…
And it’s driving us to burnout.
We can’t stand in a line…
Or wait for a train…
Without taking out our phones.
We need constant digital stimulation…
And it’s robbing us of our peace…
And our creativity.
We need downtime…
To help process information we learn…
And to help generate new ideas.
When we resist looking at our phones…
During every minute of downtime…
We move closer to being present…
And happy right where we are.
We need to dedicate time each day to unplugging…
Even if it’s only an hour before bed.
We can embrace the solitude of boredom…
And use it to try new activities…
Or go back to old activities that made us happy in the past.
Can you try being comfortable with boredom this week?
And as always…
Remember to Trust the Process and Love the Progress.
