Praise Boredom | ||
|
It's summer time and the living is easy. These familiar lines from the popular song have been playing continuously for me. The ease of summer brings us freedom from organized activities, school and work. We even enjoy time with nothing to do. In our adrenaline based culture, this slower pace can leave us feeling bored. This feeling of boredom may leave us restless, uncomfortable and even anxious. However, when we allow the feeling of boredom to sit, we benefit in many powerful ways.
When you begin to feel boredom don't run for the computer or television. Recognize that the doorway to your creativity and inner peace is opening. You may surprise yourself and begin something new or find a new sense of peace within. The next time your daughter says, "I'm bored" gently smile to yourself and remind yourself of this doorway being opened for her. Remind her how clever she is and that you are sure she will come up with something to alleviate that feeling of boredom. Praise boredom. Your daughter may enjoy a new outlet for her creativity and experience new found peace. | ||
