Boredom is not an emotion. To me, those aren't emotions. Now, if you talk to Brene Brown, she would say they are emotions, or maybe not those. But she says there's plus emotions. And I don't think there's plus emotions. I think there's five core emotions, and then we have a lot of byproducts of those emotions.
Ever found yourself staring at the wall, feeling utterly bored and not knowing why? In this episode of 'MY BLUEPRINT: Struggle Towards Emotional Sobriety', Michael Stoller dives into the often-ignored emotion of boredom. Drawing from his own experiences, Michael unpacks how boredom isn't just a standalone feeling but a symptom of deeper emotions like anger, sadness, fear, guilt, or shame. He challenges the common notion that boredom is a trivial issue, shedding light on its complex emotional roots.
Michael also introduces the HALT analogy—Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired—to help listeners identify what might be triggering their boredom. But he doesn't stop there; Michael offers practical tips to combat this pesky feeling. From surrendering control to taking small, actionable steps, he provides a roadmap for turning boredom into an opportunity for growth. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the deeper layers of their emotions and find effective ways to cope.
