Very interesting read, I wholeheartedly agree with this article, but your conclusion soundly resonated with me. I find that in times of boredom, great ideas and life changes can occur. As you mentioned in a comment with @personz , meditation is an amazing tool that I have found has helped me alot with my boredom. The meditation, for me personally, does not reduce boredom but rather allows me to transform moments of boredom into a time to free my mind and see where it takes me. I have found this extremely reduces my levels of stress. I look forward to further discussion!
Thanks for all of your time and a special thanks to @sirwinchester for this article!
