I'm Bored!
If your kids are like the millions of other teens stranded at home these days, then you’ve heard “I’m bored!” at least a bazillion times in the last two weeks. Honestly, we understand. How many TikToks, Office reruns, or Zoom meetups does it take before they reach their limit? At some point, the new normal sets in, and they simply run out of things to do. Or do they?
Grace Wong, a teenager in New Jersey, is learning that boredom can be a great teacher. “If there’s anything this self-isolation has taught me so far, it’s this: It’s never too late to bond with family and awaken new interests.” And thankfully, Grace is not alone. Buzzfeed shared stories from her and 11 other teens stuck at home due to the coronavirus, and incredibly enough, many of them admitted that their boredom sparked a burst of creativity.
Whether it’s learning to cook, journaling, weaving, filming short indie movies, writing poetry, or painting old pairs of jeans, there seems to be no limit to what our kids can conceive of if given the opportunity and mental space. According to psychologist Sandi Mann, “A bored mind moves into a daydreaming state,” seeking new and inventive ways to be stimulated and engaged. J.R.R. Tolkien admitted that it was boredom that led him to write The Hobbit. Boredom, it appears, is incredibly beneficial. So why do we avoid it like the plague?
Unfortunately, smartphones and entertainment have become the biggest enemies of useful boredom, encouraging us to always be stimulated. Instead of leaning into our lethargy and allowing it to lead us into deeper levels of creativity and consciousness, most of us choose stimulation via screens, thus blocking the beneficial payoff that boredom provides.
So at some point this week, when your teens inevitably come up to you and once again say, “I’m bored!” tell them how excited you are for them! Encourage them to embrace the boredom, see where it might lead them, and watch their minds move from a helpless, depressive state into beautiful levels of awareness and inspiration.
Keep the Faith!
