I am a boring guy. I can find endless pleasure in reading the paper edition of the Wall Street Journal with a cup of coffee. I mean all the pages, not just the charts and financials. An 8-year-old girl came over to my table at Panera Bread while I was totally engrossed in my daily read of the WSJ. I went to sip my coffee and saw her sitting next to me. I was shocked. Never having kids I did not know they did this kind of thing. I said hi, I am Buzz who are you? I am Alice...what are you doing she said? I am reading the WSJ a Newspaper I replied. She said, I have never seen someone reading a big paper like this before. Is it fun? I told her, for me it was very fun. I asked where her parents were. Right there in the booth there. But, they only watch their phones and pads. They don't talk to each other or me most of the time. Then she said: can I just watch you read the newspaper? Instead I showed her why I read Printed newspapers not digital. Then showed her how to read one. I gave her a piece to read and in a moment she was off reading. And asking lots of questions. 10 minutes go by, her Mom comes over, in a huff, saying: What are you doing here? Giving me a glaring look. Alice told her, I have been here 10 min and you only noticed me now! That only got the Mom angrier and louder. Alice explained how she was learning how to read a real newspaper. Looking at me I explained the tactile feel of paper and its relationship to enjoying the read which is not given by an electronic thing. The mom listened, calmed down. Told me how her grandfather said the same thing. I am old. You don't have to do something to enjoy. You just have to know what you enjoy doing to make you happy. Happy Trails

People are bored because they don't challenge themselves. I realised years ago that when I get too comfortable I effectively live groundhog day and become a zombie and start getting really restless. And so when I was too comfortable in my career I decided to do something totally different, I was too comfortable in my country so I recently moved to another one on the other side of the world, etc etc. If you stay still and do the same thing for too long a period you effectively die inside.

I like taking walks, especially in nature and sitting in a cafe or in a park people watching.

Budget your time like you budget your money. Set goals which mean something to you. .. Nice video thought provoking. Thanks

So much truth! I’ve learned to spend my free time writing/drawing/learning so that I can eventually get where I want to be. I miss real connections. I know so many people that fell into the Netflix rut during lockdowns (and that was their way of coping and that’s fine) but they haven’t gotten out of it. I’m having a hard time reconnecting with people when so many just want to watch a movie at home when I miss the vibrancy of life.

I wish I had time to get bored.. Happy those whose only problem in life is fixing boredom! Have a relaxing weekend everyone!🌅

Thanks for your insight Jean. I've been following you and other YouTubers who have left their comfortable, yet frenetic jobs to live more simply. Well, a month ago I moved to Thailand and left Emergency medicine behind me. After working endless hours through the "Covid Pandemic", I am now living in a small beachfront bungalow on a tiny quiet island. Boring is nice! But, being a very high energy person, I have been using this extra time to use my new environment for fitness and reading. Currently fortifying my trading skills, along with daily runs and swims in this tropical paradise.

This is why I and so many people miss the 1990s; In short I was way more social and there was just more to do in life. So yeah, the times you live in will somewhat determine boredom in life....

there are times where i tell myself to "embrace boredom". What is boring to someone may be meaningful to me- for example taking a 1.5hr walk daily, sounds boring to many, but its meaningful to me as thoughts gather and form during these 1.5hrs, and the greenery around just makes me feel good after that.

"Share this video with someone who needs it". 😆I guess such sharing would go up to at least with the half of the world population. I was once a corporate lawyer too and made myself believe that my contribution to the company is immeasurable and the law department would cease to exist if I quit one day. I was such a fool to believe the story I was telling to myself. The day I quit, I started the other half of my life as a yoga teacher. Thanks for sharing your insights Jean 🙏 they are of great value. ❤

[lizzie]

Yes, very insight video! Sometimes the little things make life more meaningful! Such as the sky, sun, stars, greenery!!!

[sohfihamid]

Thanks for the eye-opening topic and life does feel like Groundhog Day! Time is very precious and it is important to realise what is essential for our well-being and mental health.

Enjoy the life, give thanks for every second of our breath

[amiyrbarclift]

Yes these are good points. I do find learning something more enjoyable. Some of the things that you have mentioned I have put into daily practice in my life and I have seen the benefits in the short term. I have looked to make my phone more of a learning tool then a tool for mindlessly scrolling on Social Media. I do feel like it is a push to get out and try new things when you have family members dependent on you.

Life is to short to be boring. Go for walk even if it's by yourself, never know what good you'll may find. 😉

[meldavies]

Thoughtful content, elegantly presented!

I just live my life one day at a time, and try to be the best person I can be in my life. You have a wonderful channel with a charming personality Jean sweetheart. Listening to you're videos, you are a inspiration to me sweetheart. Every video you make I learn from it and take it with a grain of salt.
