Why Boredom Is Necessary (Especially For Youngsters)?
When our mind is free, we feel boredom. But in the world of technology, is there any time left when our mind is free & we feel boredom? We guess no! As soon as we’re free from work, we turn to our gadgets to play a game, scroll through our social media wall or just mindlessly surf the web! No free time, no boredom, just work & fun! This is the case especially of the young population who have not faced the pre-screen era & spent more than 2 hours a day on social media taking the facilities available today for granted. Well, boredom is not bad. It gives us time to have a look on the real world around us, have some meaningful thinking & have some peace for our mind. Being busy 24/7 is not healthy for our mind as well. Boredom is key to a creative mind. After all, our mind is most creative when we ‘Just Relax’, ‘Sit idle’ and ‘Do Nothing for a while’. So, if you want to maximize your creativity, learn to be bored! Boredom is one of the most important ingredient of being creative.
