Boredom is a gift from childhood that allows us to see the world with wonder and possibility.

To make space for boredom:

• turn off your phone

• lock yourself in a dull clean room, where there’s nothing that needs doing… or go for a solo walk to a park bench

• sit or lie there a while

• resist the urge to do anything

• boredom will arise after the fidgets and the to-do lists and the I don’t have time for this’s pass

• sit with the discomfort of boredom when it arises

• stay with boredom long enough to discover what’s on the other side
