Benefits of Boredom

Debra’s Wellness Tips
Research has shown that being bored can actually be good for you, and stimulate creative ideas.

While being plugged in causes us to crave more stimuli (increasing what is necessary for the onset of the benefits of boredom), performing a very familiar task can invite those benefits quickly.

Go for a walk on well-known path, perform a mundane task such as knitting or swimming laps, or just sit with your eyes closed.

This week, if you find yourself in line at the grocery store, in a tedious meeting or killing time in a waiting room, resist the urge to scroll. You’re bound to get bored — and your brain, mood and work performance just might improve. (See Being Bored Can be Good for You)
