Welcomed Thoughts from a Fellow (Jeff Valles): Stop! Do Not Do That. Go Get Bored

While enjoying this Labor Day Holiday weekend, give this a try.

 

That moment, that very moment when you are between completing something and starting something else new, stop. Are you there? Well, maybe not yet, because you are reading this, I hope.  

 

The next time you are in that moment, do not facetime with your cell phone, do not look for a book or a magazine or anything else to occupy your mighty brain. Instead, hit FULL STOP. Feel the slow creep of boredom setting in. Let the blahness overcome you.

 

Perhaps you will now begin to hear the slight, persistent whisper of “what do I do now, what do I do now?” Let the weird feeling of anxiety slip in and out, in and out and then you are there, you have achieved utter boredom. The state of being when your mind starts looking at everything inside and anything outside. It’s called creativity.  

 

Fun ain’t it?
