I'm so Bored. Episode #128

A boring life may not be something many of us strive for, but the truth is, occasional boredom may actually have a number of health benefits. Check out this YouTube clip here!!  https://youtu.be/6yxY9RUZAo4 That’s right — allowing yourself to be bored more often can pay off in terms of your productivity, creativity, and ability to handle stress. On the other hand, if you force yourself to be focused and productive 24/7, you might actually be self-sabotaging your ability to be calm and content long term. Psychologists believe there’s a happy medium when it comes to boredom: We don’t want to experience too much or too little. Let’s look at what causes boredom, what types of problems and perks it can lead to, plus the best ways to handle it when it arises. Increasing self-awareness about what you do and don’t enjoy. Tapping into your imagination and creativity, in part because you’re more likely to daydream when bored.  Boosting relationship skills and conflict resolution, since it gives you the opportunity to think over past arguments or mistakes. Encouraging you to rethink your priorities and shift to something more fulfilling.  Making you seek out novel experiences, which can open your mind and perspective. Reducing procrastinating. If you have free time, this can be the push you need to start a project or complete a task.  ~ Sonya  Sonya Janisse Design your Life, your way Accountability Coach   NLP, HWL, PTS Accountability Coach ~ I help you keep your promises to yourself.
