m?
Beneath what we label 
as boredom lay dormant 
diverse emotional states- 
loneliness, agitation, 
disappointment, and 
vulnerability. Boredom 
can be a mask for feeling 
out of control, trapped, 
powerless. It is a distress 
signal looking for an 
escape.  So what can one 
do to not let boredom 
create self-harming 
habits?
1. Fill in the 
time
Put your favorite 
music on or listen 
to a podcast to 
make your time 
more engaging 
while doing 
dishes, laundry, 
cleaning, etc.
2. Engage With 
Yourself
Become your 
own 
compassionate 
friend and use 
this time to 
process 
information from 
past and 
present for a 
better you 
tomorrow.
3. Shed Your 
Shoulds
Delve deeper 
into  making 
daily chores 
more 
interesting? 
What outcome 
are you looking 
for? How can 
you make it less 
taxing?
Be curious about your boredom and eventually 
something new will rise. Read more
