Thank you for this great (and not boring) article. As a therapist, I often encounter clients claiming to be bored and acting on it, often to their detriment. This is especially so for people in recovery from addiction. I love the last quotation by Ellen Parr, and I'll definitely use it.

In the past I have told my clients that boredom is a sign that something needs to change. I've also guided them to learn to sit through it, that boredom never killed anyone, and that we all get bored at times, even babies.

Thank you once again for the great and informative read.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I really appreciate you sharing your perspective from therapy work, especially around boredom as a challenge in recovery. I like your point about learning to sit with boredom, as it is such an important skill and often overlooked. Thank you again for taking the time to read and share your thoughts.
