Boredom comes from a desire to connect but not wanting to be responsible for doing what’s necessary to connect. Boredom is a conundrum of wanting stimulus but feeling inconvenienced at the work it will take to feel that stimulus.

Have you ever had a child react in aggression when they were bored because you wouldn't jump in and entertain them? If so, here is a child who is putting the responsibility to FEEL onto you, the parent. They are saying, “It’s YOUR job to make me feel better.” Anytime a person places the responsibility of their emotions onto another, that person is acting out his/her distorted perceptions.

Boredom is not to be feared! It is a choice! Come learn how empty spaces of time can lead to creativity in Truth or boredom in distortion. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
