WHY DO I FEEL BORED?
We all know that feeling of boredom. It feels like we want to crawl out of our skin. To a child it feels like time is standing still. But what is boredom trying to tell our minds, and our bodies? Let's find out!
Discover the state of boredom as a window to creativity as well as the effects on our brains and bodies. Includes a thesaurus of words, uncovering of pessimistic thought processes and finding new ways of thinking.
The way we feel determines our life experience, a natural part of being human.
Learn to recognise emotions, explore their causes and the effects on our body chemistry. With a better understanding of ourselves, we can learn to make new choices about how we think and act, to mindfully transform our feelings.
