Hi, it's Andy here, and welcome to Radio Headspace.

So Tuesday morning, and I don't know if you have kids or not.

This kind of applies either way, whether you do or you don't.

But definitely I feel like with a couple young kids and living in a bigger city, there

is a tendency, you may have noticed it, to sort of overshed your children.

This is though they don't really kind of have any free time anymore, just to sit around

and amuse themselves to get creative and do their own thing, and I always try as much

as possible to work with my wife to create those spaces.

I personally think a condition in which one could potentially think of as boring is a very

positive state.

But here's why.

Germany and life we are constantly stimulated.

I think we've become almost addicted to the stimulation, to the distraction.

So we're actually not very good at just being comfortable, doing nothing, and not really

having anything particular to do.

We might feel like that's really unproductive, it's not very helpful, it's not moving

us forward in life.

It's actually a really important skill in life.

I've been so surprised over recent weeks, maybe even last few months actually, how many

messages we've had in saying, I lock down, I'm so bored and I don't know what to do

with my time, and just boredom generally, I feel like is a really interesting idea, and

I say idea rather than experience.
