Podcasts about Boredom

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian explore one of the Bible's most sobering warnings about sexual sin through the story of King David. The guys explain why pornography and sexual temptation rarely begin with desire alone, but with idleness, boredom, and abandoning responsibility—long before the “rooftop moment.” Al explains David's repentance in Psalm 51 as both a warning and a hope, reminding listeners that while sexual sin carries real consequences, God's covenant faithfulness still offers a path back. In this episode: 1 Samuel 13, verse 14; 1 Samuel 16, verse 7; 2 Samuel 7, verses 8–16; 2 Samuel 11, verses 1–27; Psalm 22; Psalm 23; Psalm 51; Psalm 139, verses 13–16; Matthew 12, verses 43–45; Hebrews 12, verses 28–29 Today's conversation is about Lesson 6 of The David Story: Shepherd, Father, King taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson.

The Power of Boredom: Learning to Live in the Present In this solo episode, Chris shares a personal experiment that quietly changed the way he experiences life. It started with a conversation around a Harvard study shared by Arthur Brooks — research suggesting that one of the biggest challenges we face today is that we never experience boredom. Every spare second is filled. Every pause is interrupted. And in the process, we're losing something deeply important: the space to think, reflect, and be present. While celebrating his 20-year anniversary with Melissa in Spain, Chris decided to test that idea. He completely removed social media from his phone — not with a timeline or rules, but simply as an experiment in presence. What followed surprised him. He read more. He prayed more. He thought more deeply. And slowly, the urge to constantly reach for distraction faded. Chris reflects on how rare it has become to simply be — even for ten seconds at a stoplight — and how reclaiming boredom opened the door to clarity, peace, and freedom. He also revisits one of the most meaningful practices from a book that has shaped his life, The Way of Mastery: ending each day by blessing and releasing it. "I bless and release this day. It has been perfect, and it is finished." That simple practice helped him recognize how often his mind lived in guilt about the past or worry about the future — and how little time he actually spent in the one place where life truly happens: the present moment. This episode isn't about quitting social media or adopting someone else's routine. It's an invitation to run your own experiment. To notice where distraction is stealing your attention. And to create a small, intentional practice that helps you come home to yourself, your family, and your life. As Chris shares, the goal isn't perfection — it's presence. And maybe, just maybe, boredom isn't something to avoid… but something we desperately need more of.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore a reality many first responders quietly live with: calm can feel uncomfortable, while chaos feels familiar (Amazon Affiliate) —even comforting. After years of operating in high-intensity environments, your nervous system adapts to urgency, noise, and pressure. Over time, stillness doesn't feel peaceful—it feels wrong. Boredom feels unsafe. Silence feels unsettling. And without realizing it, you may start gravitating toward chaos just to feel normal again. This episode breaks down why that happens, how it impacts your relationships and health, and what it takes to retrain your body and mind to feel safe in calm again.

#733 What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn't strategy or execution — but the identity you're operating from? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Cassie Shea, founder of The Possibility Investor, to unpack what it really means to iterate with your identity as a business owner. Cassie shares how her journey from running a $14M company at 28 to logging 3,500+ coaching hours shaped her core framework: Desire → Deserving → Decisions — starting with the deceptively hard question, “What do you want?” Together, they explore why so many entrepreneurs hit an invisible “deserve ceiling,” how proving energy can quietly drive (and drain) growth, and how constraints — like health, seasons of life, or boredom — can become the catalyst for smarter, more sustainable business evolution. Cassie also previews her free 3D Assessment and where listeners can connect with her as she launches The Possibility Investor! What we discuss with Cassie: + Identity-driven business growth + Iterating with your identity + Desire → Deserving → Decisions framework + The “deserve ceiling” + Proving vs. creating + Boredom as a signal + Constraints fuel creativity + Building beyond scarcity + Frameworks over hustle Thank you, Cassie!

Team Simon is revisiting some of the episodes you helped make our favorites of the year until A Bit of Optimism returns on January 27, 2026, with brand-new episodes.We're rewinding back to August, when talented polymath Elle Cordova joined the show and unpacked how we're all wired to chase the next spark. We scroll, swipe, refresh, and repeat—but some of our brightest ideas sneak in when we stop chasing, let boredom settle in, and give our minds room to wander.Elle knows the power of that pause. When the pandemic hit pause on her life as a touring musician, she stumbled into new creative territory—making offbeat comedy videos about delightfully nerdy topics like particle physics, grammar, and fonts. Those sketches went viral, and suddenly she was thriving as a social media creator with a devoted following.In this episode, Simon and Elle talk about finding what truly lights you up, pushing through writer's block, working with anxiety—and yes, Star Wars makes an appearance (because of course it does). Plus, Elle treats us to a live, in-studio performance of her song “Roswell.”This… is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------For more on Elle, check out: https://www.ellecordova.com/

It asks us to generate our own thoughts rather than constantly reacting to Instagram, email, and an ever-expanding stream of stimuli.

Can boredom be a healthy part of childhood, rather than something parents need to constantly fix?

I manifested early retirement at 28 after manifesting a fully paid dream home, passive income and investments. What it taught me : • You can manifest anything you set your mind to! • After you manifest everything you wanted, life gets boring and it's perfect! Boredom is the peace you prayed for. • The more trauma you heal, the less ambitious you get. It's psychological, look it up! • I care about living a simple minimalistic life and i care about the planet hence no cars, no overconsumption & no excess of anything. • My personal opinion on materialism and travelling. • I realised my unique life purpose to go against the herd mentality and live peacefully blissfully life of my own on my own terms with full sovereignty.

This is a fan fav episode. You are living through exciting and strange times. There are so many technological advances with AI, space travel, NFTs, and a rapidly changing culture with social media, it's near impossible to just turn ‘off'. Let's admit it, FOMO is real and it keeps a lot of people connected when they're not even sure why they're connected. When was the last time you unplugged and took on a challenge you weren't sure you'd complete? How long has it been since you've sat with yourself in total silence or allowed yourself to just be bored out of your mind? Author and journalist, Michael Easter, joins me today to discuss his journey and share the lessons and insights he's gained from spending a month in the Arctic surviving. Hunting his own food, carrying heavy loads, and sitting with absolute boredom are just part of his story. As you listen to his story, it is my hope you will consider ways you step out of your comfort zone. There is something very freeing about being able to shake things up and break your routines and habits to improve the quality of your life in unconventional ways.

Next week is Christmas, and as Michelle reflects on the season—what it holds, what it doesn't, and the quieter spaces many of us feel at this time of year—an insight from a yin yoga class offers an unexpected theme: boredom. In yin yoga, long-held poses can bring up discomfort, restlessness, and resistance…but what caught Michelle's attention was her teacher's invitation to notice boredom specifically. That word landed immediately, because boredom wasn't just present in the pose—it was familiar in life.From there, Michelle explores boredom as one of the “quieter” emotions we're rarely taught to recognize, name, or stay present with. She shares a powerful childhood message about packing emotions into a shoebox and putting them away, and explains how many adults grow up fluent in managing the “big” emotions—like anger, grief, or anxiety—while remaining unsure what to do with subtler ones like boredom. But emotions aren't problems to fix. They're signals—like dashboard lights—offering information from your nervous system about what's happening inside and around you.Boredom, Michelle suggests, is often uncomfortable not because it's painful, but because it's empty. It creates space, and for many of us, space doesn't feel safe. That's why boredom becomes prime buffering territory: snacking when we're not hungry, scrolling without thinking, turning on noise, opening tabs, staying busy—anything to outrun the sensation of “nothing happening.” The goal isn't to judge these patterns. It's to recognize them. Because bored eating often looks and feels different than hunger-based eating, and without emotional awareness, we end up eating at boredom rather than listening to what it's asking for.Michelle invites you to consider what boredom might be teaching: a need for rest, novelty, connection, creativity—or a deeper discomfort with being alone with yourself. She shares how boredom has shown up in her own seasons of hustle and burnout, and how her resistance to stillness once made meditation feel nearly impossible. And she offers a simple, powerful practice: notice boredom in micro-moments (red lights, waiting rooms, the kettle boiling), name it, feel it in your body, notice the urge to escape, and stay with it for just ten more seconds.The episode closes with a layered personal insight: the contrast between poses like pigeon—where discomfort makes the emotional message loud—and more comfortable poses where boredom emerges and the lesson is quieter. In that quiet, Michelle recognizes a theme that's been following her: patience. Not forcing action because of anxiety, but slowing down long enough to let the message come through. And she invites you to reflect on your own relationship with boredom—and to reach out and share what you discover.In this episode, you'll learn:Why boredom is a “quiet” emotion that often gets overlookedHow boredom creates space—and why space can feel unsafeWhat buffering is, and why boredom is prime buffering territory (food, scrolling, busyness, noise)How bored eating differs from hunger-based eatingHow emotions function as nervous system “dashboard lights,” not problems to fixWhat boredom may be trying to communicate (rest, connection, novelty, creativity, burnout, fear of stillness)A simple micro-practice to build tolerance for boredom: name it, feel it, notice the urge, pause for 10 secondsWhy learning to sit with boredom supports emotional resilience and body trustHow yin yoga revealed a deeper theme: patience, and letting decisions come from clarity rather than urgency     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Christmas can feel familiar. Almost too familiar. We know the songs, the story, and the traditions. And if we're not careful, that familiarity can slowly turn into boredom. In this message from Mark 6:1–6, we see Jesus return to His hometown and be dismissed by the very people who knew Him best. They weren't rejecting Him because He lacked power. They missed Him because they thought they already knew Him. This message reminds us that Christmas doesn't lose its power because the story isn't true. It loses its power when we stop being amazed by it. Jesus came close. And He invites us to see Him again with fresh eyes, renewed wonder, and a heart that remembers why He came at all.

Boredom used to be that thing you tried to avoid with a barstool and a bourbon. Now that you're sober(ish…or working on it), boredom hits different. It's quieter, sneakier, and honestly, kind of uncomfortable. In this week's episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane breaks down one of the biggest early sobriety traps straight from Chapter 4 of his new book Sober Guy, How Do I — how to handle boredom without losing your mind or your momentum. We'll talk about: Why boredom isn't actually the enemy, and what it's really trying to tell youHow alcohol used to be a “shortcut to stimulation,” and why your brain needs a little re-trainingWhy high performers, business owners, and dudes who've lived life in the red zone struggle with quiet time more than anyone. Practical strategies to turn boredom into clarity, purpose, and progress (yes, really) Shane keeps it authentic, honest, and slightly ridiculous, sharing stories from his own recovery journey plus some tools that have helped hundreds of men inside the Victory Circle community deal with downtime without sprinting toward the freezer for an IPA. If you've ever found yourself pacing around the kitchen muttering “I just need to DO something,” this one's for you. Actionable Takeaways ️ Do a 5-Minute Mental Check-In:Ask yourself: “Am I bored? Or am I avoiding something?” Write it down. Name it.

What if the key to creativity, meaning, and happiness isn't doing more, but doing less?When I realized I was spending 10 hours a week on Instagram, I knew something had to change. But instead of replacing it with more productivity hacks, I discovered something counterintuitive: my brain needs boredom.In this episode, I explore why eliminating boredom from our lives might be the root cause of modern depression and anxiety, and how embracing those uncomfortable moments of “doing nothing” can unlock creativity, meaning, and happiness.What You'll Learn:* Why humans prefer electric shocks over being alone with their thoughts* The Default Mode Network and what happens when your brain has nothing to do* Why eliminating boredom might be causing our epidemic of depression* How Agatha Christie, Neil Gaiman, and Kate Nash used boredom to fuel their creative breakthroughs* Practical challenges to reclaim boredom in your lifeTimestamps:0:00 - My 10-hour Instagram problem2:15 - What happens when you're bored4:30 - The electric shock experiment6:45 - Why we've engineered boredom out of our lives9:20 - The boredom challenge11:40 - How to get bored more often14:15 - Famous creators who credit boredom for their success17:30 - Book of the Week: Unreasonable Hospitality21:45 - Check This Out: 10-minute endometriosis test breakthroughLinks☀️ Are You Wasting Your Dopamine Budget Before Breakfast? - https://www.ninasnotes.xyz/p/153-are-you-wasting-your-dopamine48-Hour Phone Detox - https://www.ninasnotes.xyz/p/128-48-hours-unpluggedCONNECT WITH MENewsletter: https://www.ninasnotes.xyzLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninapatrick/Website: https://www.ninapatrick.xyz Get full access to Nina's Notes at www.ninasnotes.xyz/subscribe

Phones and AI aren't going anywhere, so the goal isn't to ban them, but to help our kids integrate them wisely. In this episode, we'll explore how constant connectivity impacts a child's ability to focus, plan, regulate emotions, and problem-solve. We'll look at why kids and teens are especially vulnerable to the “instant relief” loop that phones provide, and how AI can both support and hinder their growing brains.Most importantly, we'll talk about what parents can do: how to set boundaries that actually stick, how to preserve core executive functioning skills, and how to help your child build the resilience they'll need in a world where technology is always within reach.Jennifer's Takeaways:Impact of Cell Phones and AI on Kids' Focus and Problem-Solving Skills (00:00)Challenges of Multitasking with Multiple Screens (02:46)Balancing AI Use with Critical Thinking Skills (03:50)The Role of Boredom in Developing Creativity (05:47)Teaching Kids to Use AI as a Coach, Not a Crutch (07:05)The Future of AI in Education and Parenting (08:09)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Guillermo Schulte to explore how AI is reshaping up-skilling, re-skilling, and the future of education through play, from learning games and gamification to emotional intelligence, mental health, and the coming wave of abundance and chaos that technology is accelerating; they also get into synchronous vs. asynchronous learning, human–AI collaboration, and how organizations can use data-driven game experiences for cybersecurity, onboarding, and ongoing training. To learn more about Guillermo's work, check out TGAcompany.com, as well as TGA Entertainment on Instagram and LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop opens with Guillermo Schulte on up-skilling, re-skilling, and AI's accelerating impact on work.05:00 They explore play-based learning, video games as education, and early childhood engagement through game mechanics.10:00 Conversation shifts to the overload in modern schooling, why play disappeared, and the challenge of scalable game-based learning.15:00 Guillermo contrasts synchronous vs asynchronous learning and how mobile access democratizes education.20:00 They reflect on boredom, creativity, novelty addiction, and how AI reshapes attention and learning.25:00 Discussion moves to AGI speculation, human discernment, taste, and embodied decision-making.30:00 They explore unpredictable technological leaps, exponential improvement, and the future of knowledge.35:00 Abundance, poverty decline, and chaos—both from scarcity and prosperity—and how societies adapt.40:00 Mental health, emotional well-being, and organizational responsibility become central themes.45:00 Technical training through games emerges: cybersecurity, Excel, and onboarding with rich data insights.50:00 Guillermo explains the upcoming platform enabling anyone to create AI-powered learning games and personalized experiences.Key InsightsAI is accelerating the urgency of up-skilling and re-skilling. Guillermo highlights how rapid technological change is transforming every profession, making continuous learning essential for remaining employable and adding value in a world where machines increasingly handle routine tasks.Play is humanity's native learning tool—and video games unlock it for adults. He explains that humans are wired to learn through play, yet traditional education suppresses this instinct. Learning games reintroduce engagement, emotion, and curiosity, making education more intuitive and scalable.Gamified, asynchronous learning can democratize access. While synchronous interaction is powerful, Guillermo emphasizes that mobile-first, game-based learning allows millions—including those without resources—to gain skills anytime, closing gaps in opportunity and meritocracy.Emotional intelligence will matter more as AI takes over technical tasks. As AI becomes increasingly capable in logic-heavy fields, human strengths like empathy, leadership, creativity, and relationship-building become central to meaningful work and personal fulfillment.Novelty and boredom shape how we learn and think. They discuss how constant novelty can stunt creativity, while boredom creates the mental space for insight. Future learning systems will need to balance stimulation with reflection to avoid cognitive overload.Abundance will bring psychological challenges alongside material benefits. Stewart and Guillermo point out that while AI and robotics may create unprecedented prosperity, they may also destabilize identity and purpose, amplifying the already-growing mental health crisis.AI-powered game creation could redefine education entirely. Guillermo describes TGA's upcoming platform that lets anyone transform documents into personalized learning games, using player data to adapt difficulty and style—potentially making learning more effective, accessible, and enjoyable than traditional instruction.

When Cal looks back on his life, he sees a relentless drive that's guided him to his 69th birthday: Never be bored. His past reveals a simple truth. Boredom ends where curiosity begins.

In this episode, John explores why boredom isn't something to avoid but a necessary part of deep learning and true skill development. He explains how repetition and quiet focus strengthen coordination, awareness, and creativity over time. Learning to stay present through the dull moments is what transforms practice into mastery.   Episode highlights: Quiet moments can spark new ideas and reflections. Boredom is not a flaw, but a luxury we've lost. Consistency in practice is key to achieving brilliance.   To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com

Let's get honest for a second. Porn addiction isn't really about sex. It's about connection… about loneliness, shame, and the ache to feel close to something when life feels empty or overwhelming. My guest for this episode, Sathiya Sam, knows that pain deeply. After a 15-year struggle with porn addiction, he rebuilt his life and now helps others do the same through his Deep Clean program - a compassionate, science-meets-spirituality approach that helps people stop using porn and start building real connection again. We're talking about what really drives addiction, the role of purpose and community in recovery, how to protect kids in this new digital world, and what AI “relationships” mean for the future of intimacy. It's a deep, human conversation about healing, hope, and the real work of reclaiming yourself.

My guest is Dr. Jennifer Groh, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University. She explains how our brain encodes sights and sounds and integrates them so we can navigate and understand the world around us. She explains what thoughts really are and how what you focus on determines your thoughts, not just in that moment but your future thoughts too. We discuss this in the context of how to improve your level of focus and happiness and how to complete tasks and task-switch more effectively. We also discuss how you can rewire the neural circuits that underlie your default patterns of thinking and attention.
