We Don’t Know How to Be Bored Anymore

from LOUD & CLEAR Hosted by Jamel Swinton

When did doing absolutely nothing start feeling like a problem? In this episode of Loud & Clear, I’m talking about how hard it has become to just sit still. Between scrolling, streaming, shopping, going out, checking notifications, and constantly needing something to do, boredom barely gets a chance anymore. We say we want rest, then the second we get a quiet day, we start looking for plans. This episode is about overstimulation, social media, spending money out of boredom, comparing our regular lives to everybody else’s highlight reel, and learning that every free moment does not need to be filled. Sometimes a boring day is exactly what you needed. Honest. Intentional. Evolving.
