Is being bored bad?

September 29, 2018

Only boring people ever feel bored. Right?

No. Wrong.

Boredom is part of being human. We all feel bored sometimes, even those of us who appear to have the busiest and most exciting lives. In this sense, boredom is like any other feeling: it comes and goes.

That said, if we feel bored very often, that's a bad sign. In that case, we still want to accept it when we feel bored, but we also want to take steps afterwards, to add some more fun to our lives.

So if some of your days at the office feel boring, don't despair. It doesn't mean your life has gone horribly wrong.

But if you spend most of your days staring at a computer screen and mindlessly browsing Reddit in an attempt to stave off boredom—then let's talk and see what we can do about it.

Yours,
