The Other Side of Boredom
When
you are really bored, the best thing you can do is sit down and let
yourself experience the boredom more fully. It may not be a deep or
satisfying state, but at least you are not indulging in the things with
which you usually cover up this kind of experience. Your real state of
mind is more nakedly exposed, because for the time being there are no
distractions. If you can stay with the experience of boredom, you can
try to feel your way through into something deeper, truer, and more
spontaneous within yourself.
