The Wisdom in Boredom

How ok are you with the experience of boredom - yours or your kids?  Or do you have a knee-jerk reaction to get out of it as quickly as possible? We have a rule in our house that it's good to be bored, but I don't know many adults who are ok with boredom. Indeed, boredom can drive us from the present moment fast, and into distractions and addictions to distraction just so we don't have to feel the discomfort that boredom brings.  But beyond the discomfort of boredom - when we bring mindful inquiry to it - is often creativity, insight and healing.  We have an invitation in boredom to shift our relationship to those moments from boredom as a problem to boredom as a portal.  

I have a reflection for you to use with this topic the next time you feel boredom, which you'll find here in the shownotes.
