Episode Synopsis

In a world where we’re constantly stimulated, boredom has become something we avoid at all costs. But what if boredom isn’t the problem... what if it’s the answer? This week, I explore our relationship with boredom and stillness, how modern life and technology have made it harder to slow down, and why learning to sit with quiet moments might be one of the most powerful things we can do for our minds. I talk about why we’ve become so uncomfortable with doing nothing, how this constant need for stimulation affects our creativity and mental health, and what we can do to reclaim stillness in our everyday lives.Take a seat, this is The Life Bench.(PS: I'm taking part in "Grow a Mo" for Movember.
