Feeling Bored
Boredom can be your brain saying, "I need something interesting, meaningful, or restful to do." It is not a bad feeling; it can be the beginning of an idea.
What boredom might be telling you
I need movement
A stretch, dance, or outside play can help energy find a direction.
I need connection
Sometimes boredom is a wish to play, talk, or help someone.
Try this now
- Pick three choices. Draw, build, read, help, or move; then select one.
- Set a ten-minute mission. Make a paper invention, tidy a small area, or find five blue things.
- Ask a wonder question. "How does that work?" can turn boredom into curiosity.
