The reason we don’t like being bored is because boredom creates tension.
Tension is uncomfortable.
We want comfort.
We want resolution.
So we seek a million forms of distraction.
But life happens in the tension, and we are missing out.
Life is passing us by because we refuse to be bored.
Be bored.
Sit with your thoughts.
Resist the temptation of distraction.
See what happens.
It will not kill you.
You may get inspired.
There is magic inside of you waiting to come out.
Learn to be comfortable in boredom.
Life does not exist for your entertainment.
You do not need, nor should you want, to be in a constant state of stimulation.
The quiet is there to heal you, to allow you to reflect and to rest.
Do not rush through these moments looking for something to do, to say, to hear, touch, taste, or see.
Lean into the quiet.
Let the stillness envelop you, allow it to teach you, and feel it unfold from within you.
Become the quiet.
