Boredom can really be a catalyst or a springboard for action.
Feeling like you always need to be doing something? Dr. Christopher Fasano challenges this notion in Episode 86 of 'The Better Mental Health Show'. In a society obsessed with constant activity, he argues that boredom is actually beneficial for our brains. Dr. Fasano explains how our addiction to phones and instant gratification is rewiring our minds to expect non-stop stimulation, making it harder for us to focus when we need to.
