Get Comfortable with Boredom
Discover the Power of Doing Nothing
Have you ever just sat and stared out the window, thinking about nothing at all? If you haven’t, it might be time to give it a try.
Practicing something called “intentional boredom” might just be the secret you’ve been missing to find more happiness in your life.
Trust me, it’s not as strange as it sounds — it can actually be life-changing. Let me explain how and why you should try it.
The Hustle Trap
We live in a world that worships busyness. If you’re not constantly booked or juggling a million things, it can feel like you’re somehow falling behind.
I remember telling a friend once that I spent my Sunday afternoon just sitting on my porch. No Netflix, no phone, just me and a rocking chair.
He looked at me like I’d lost my mind — but I felt more rested and happy after that afternoon than I had in weeks.
Sometimes, the best way to enjoy life isn’t to fill it with more stuff — it’s to give yourself space for less. That’s when I realized something important: intentional boredom can make you feel more fulfilled and refreshed.
