Too much time on your hands?

Feeling listless, unsatisfied, unchallenged?

Ho-hum.

Boredom may be the culprit.

It is unimaginable and counterintuitive that in a day and age where most people are zipping along at warp speed, juggling insurmountable duties and inundated with unceasing whirlwind brain activity without hope of a break, that being bored would ever be an option or possibility.

For some, boredom does not just rock the boat; it completely capsizes it, leaving one in a precarious situation with unnerving bodily sensations that are so disquieting they require immediate remediation, which most people happily oblige with distractions in an effort to temporarily pacify and attempt to fill that empty or tumultuous void.

With countless mesmerizing options available at any location by way of iPhones, computers, social media, television, video games, internet, and streaming, it has become a national obsession to keep oneself focused on anything but the Self.

Avoidance of internal commotions could stem from unresolved emotions or traumas especially from childhood, and chronic boredom could be a sign of depression.

Sensation seeking behavior such as drug use can also be a maladaptive response to boredom with the majority of addicts attesting that it is the leading variable to relapse.

It would seem that boredom is highly problematic for many populations.

If the external cannot nullify what is silently screaming within us, then what can?

What if this aching rupture of nothingness is part and parcel of an extraordinary signal?

Suppose this lull in exorbitant busyness is God clearing space to converse with you, enlighten you, transforming a frustrating moment into a magical one.

Instead of a demeaning deficit it becomes a valuable and meaningful encounter with the unfamiliar stillness recalibrated as an opportunity to refocus and reflect on present situations that have been ignored or avoided, or an inspiring catalyst for change.

Gently explore the uneasiness.

Bouts of boredom hush the conscious mind and default to the subconscious (past issues) and superconscious (Soul talk), sparking and downloading pertinent and appropriate information, like a brilliant or innovative idea or a new path to pursue.

The next time you are bored to tears engulfed in the humdrums, disconnect from the exogenous superficialities and mindless chatter and reconnect with Source and yourself.

It could be the most rewarding and worthwhile moments of your day!
