Feeling bored? Whether it’s during a long meeting, another round of pretend play, or a whole season of life that feels a little flat—this episode is for you.
We’re unpacking the belief that “I shouldn’t be bored” and exploring why it feels so hard to just be still. You’ll learn how boredom is often not the problem, but what we make it mean—and how allowing it (instead of fixing it) can actually be one of the most useful emotional skills you can build.
We’ll also talk about why our fast-paced lives make boredom feel like a crisis, and what it really means when you’re craving constant stimulation.
Why we’re conditioned to believe boredom is a problem and how to spot that conditioning in yourself
What buffering is, why we do it, and how it sneaks into your day without you realizing it
How to allow boredom without guilt or urgency, and why that’s an emotional strength
How to notice the thoughts that add shame and pressure to an otherwise neutral moment
What to do when you’re craving action or change—but might actually need rest and stillness
