Episode Synopsis

Lisa and Heath offer reflective, spiritual, behavioral, and positive psychology tips, tools, and techniques for living with and addressing boredom. The work of pioneering creativity researcher Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is discussed, concerning how to enter the FLOW state, which helps to alleviate boredom. They also review ways to successfully calm down the Default Mode Network in the brain (not with electronics!) Finally, they explore the PERMA model for flourishing, as per Dr. Martin Seligman. There are five building blocks that enable flourishing – Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment, and there are strategies to increase each.
