There’s a new trend online, which isn’t that new, reminding us that it’s okay to lean into boredom. To say that you’re bored, may just be because you are not glued to your phone, computer, television, or even a book. How bad would it be to look out the window and just sit there gazing?
Studies show boredom or allowing your mind to wander, is a way to let creativity take over your mind’s eye. Focusing on being creative can light up something inside of you that doomscrolling cannot. Wouldn’t it feel better to think of ways to be more artful or mindful instead of depressed? I know I could use this practice.
Even while working, there are ways to make yourself happy for moments at a time, laughing at our errors or being joyful when completing a task. Maybe considering a wander away from your desk to the outdoors, or even just a walk through your office or workspace to get a different perspective.
Sometimes I believe my life is boring, but I remember there are ways to bring a little bit of fun into everyday activities… enjoy/listen…
