-
- Self-Improvement
“Boredom is a defense to emotional awareness.”
-Gary Zukav
On today’s episode we are talking about boredom.
Boredom is a form of resistance. It is resistance to
becoming aware of what you are feeling. This is the ROOT of boredom.
Boredom is not right or wrong nor good or bad. Boredom is natural.
We can fall into drama roles around boredom. Boredom can be empowering, building skills such as
initiative, self-reliance, and problem-solving skills as well as creativity, curiosity, and flexibility. It also builds tolerance for discomfort.
Allowing your children to own their own boredom and find their own solutions is essential in helping them build important life skills.
In this episode you will learn how to use boredom as an opportunity and ways to respond to your child when they proclaim, “I’m bored.”
