Episode 196: The Lessons of Boredom
Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Android Devices | RSS
In Our Conversation Today, We’re Exploring:
Is boredom a distraction or are we using distractions to avoid boredom?
How Nayla uses boredom to help her stop feeling stuck
The difference between superficial boredom and something more profound that might require you to make some significant changes
How boredom leads to creativity and innovation
Both of us had the chance to experience boredom on recent trips, and it sparked the idea for this week’s episode of the podcast because boredom sometimes gets a bad reputation.
Boredom also comes up quite often in our work with our clients. They’re usually not sure what it means or what they’re supposed to do about it. It’s precisely those topics we want to dive into today so we can figure out what a healthy relationship with boredom looks like for you.
