Podcasts about Boredom

The Dark Ages: Rome has fallen, the Church won't shut the fuck up, there's a killer plague for every season, and everyone else is dying of BOREDOM.Right? WRONG.Western Europe may have been a shitshow for much of what we ridiculously call the "Dark Ages," but the rest of the world had its act together.Specifically: Baghdad around the 800s AD. At the height of the Golden Age of Islam. They had libraries, they had mathematics, and...they had lesbian sex scientists.This week we're taking a tantalizing dip into the Golden Age of Islam to uncover a treasure trove archive of lesbionic women from medieval Arabia.Muslim philosophers and physicians had actual words for lesbians (or lesbian-like women), entire books about famous lesbian couples, and specific manuals that explained how to vigorously rub one out with your beloved.From labia gas to celery-and-rocket shakes, the science was...shaky, at best. But the spirit of inquiry was strong, and the genuine respect for lesbian love profound.Tune in to explore:Why doctors thought the only sensible treatment for lesbianism was – get this! – lesbian sexA 13th-century Kama Sutra-style manual that coined the “saffron massage” (and came with a guide to lesbian sound effects)The interfaith power couple Hind Bint al-Nu'man and al-Zarqāʾ, whose legendary love story inspired queer and heterosexual writers for centuries to comeThe lost books of lesbian couples with names like Basil and Clove and Justice and Happiness (welcome, ladies, to the queer Muslim SPICE RACK)How medieval lesbian communities were rumoured to hold meetings and sex ed classes, because like all good homosexuals, they got organized.

Bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and wellness leader Jennifer Cohen joins Dr. Will Cole for a bold conversation on resilience, mental toughness, and why “coddle culture” is holding us back. They discuss how boredom fuels creativity, why walking is the ultimate longevity tool, and how to raise kids who can thrive in today's fast-paced, hyper-connected world. From simple daily habits to parenting with purpose, Jennifer offers no-nonsense strategies for building strength - mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Jogen emphasizes the unique value of sustained practice in bringing clarity of mind, calming the nervous system, and reshaping our habitual patterns.

PirsigChapters0:26 Introduction to Boredom1:43 Hidden Benefits of Boredom4:04 Practicing Intentional Boredom7:30 Mini Pause Practice11:09 Affirmations for Stillness15:25 Boredom as Space, Not Danger17:22 Filling the Silence18:27 Invitation to Share Your ExperienceSummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into part two of our exploration on boredom as an unexpected ally for our nervous system. Today, we expand on our previous discussion where we unpacked the significance of boredom in our hyper-stimulated environment. We clarified boredom as a state of mental unrest, distinct from feelings of depression and apathy, and why it triggers discomfort, particularly for those of us grappling with anxiety. Rather than being an adversary, I emphasize that boredom serves as a natural pause, a crucial moment for self-reflection and healing.As we shift our lens on boredom, I highlight its hidden benefits, which include the chance for our nervous systems to reset and the creation of space for self-exploration, creativity, and problem-solving—elements often overshadowed by constant engagement. Embracing boredom, I argue, can catalyze profound changes in our anxiety levels and overall wellness. The challenge, however, lies in how we can actively integrate periods of stillness and unstructured time into our lives.I offer practical strategies for practicing boredom, particularly for those who are apprehensive about it. Starting small, I suggest letting your mind wander without the pressure to be productive—the freedom of taking a leisurely, phone-free walk or simply allowing your thoughts to drift. I encourage listeners to engage in intentional moments of boredom, like setting aside five to ten minutes of doing nothing. It might feel uncomfortable initially, as a response to years of overstimulation, but this is part of the unlearning process.#AnxietyRelief #BoredomBenefits #NervousSystemRegulation #FindYourCalm #StillnessSpeaks #SelfCareJourney #MentalWellness #MindfulLiving #CreativeFlow #StressLess #OverstimulationSolution #RelaxAndRecharge #InnerPeaceNow #WellnessJourney #HealYourself #BePresent #DigitalWellbeing #EmotionalBalance #ConnectWithin #JustBe #UnwindYourMind #RestorativePractice #ThoughtfulLiving #AnxietySupport #DailyCalm #BreatheDeep #QuietMoments #EmbraceStillness #BeyondBoredom #AnxietyCoach #PodcastWisdom #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #AnxietyAwareness #SelfHelp #MindBodySoul #HealthyHabits #StressReduction #CalmMind #EmotionalFreedom #PeacefulLiving #BoredomIsGood #UnlockCreativity #StayGrounded #NoMoreOverwhelm #AnxietyCoping #WellbeingTips #RestIsBest #MindfulMoments #PositiveAffirmations #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're wired to chase the next spark - scrolling, swiping, refreshing - but some of our brightest ideas sneak in when we stop chasing, let boredom settle in and give our minds room to wander.Elle Cordova 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, we 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:ellecordova.com/

Greg and Cory revisit the challenges parents of small children face in bringing their children to Mass. In Episode #360, Greg had responded to a listener named Claire who shared that teaching her kids to sit still and pay attention in Mass was a struggle, and asked why Catholic Churches didn't have the same kind of dynamic "kid's church" programs that contemporary evangelical churches do. Cory, as a parent of four small children, had some additional thoughts. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!

What if you were convinced you got a good night's sleep even if you didn't? It turns out what you believe can actually determine if you do or don't feel tired the next day. How can this possibly be true? This episode starts with an explanation which could be very useful one day when you didn't sleep well. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24417326/ Many times in your life you have felt totally bored. What exactly is boredom? Is it a feeling or maybe it is a lack of a feeling? Does feeling bored ever serve a purpose? Then there is that phrase, “I'm bored to death.” Can that actually happen – death by boredom? Here for a fascinating discussion on the topic of boredom is psychologist James Danckert, author of the book, Out of My Skull: The Psychology of Boredom (https://amzn.to/3ePmnsq). On one end of the scale are thrill seekers and daredevils who jump out of airplanes or climb dangerous mountains. On the other end of the scale are people who would rather stay home and read a book by the fire. What is the difference? What cause thrill seekers to do what they do? What is it they gain from those experiences? That is what Ken Carter is here to reveal. Ken is a board-certified clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at Oxford College of Emory University and author of the book Buzz!: Inside the Minds of Thrill-Seekers, Daredevils, and Adrenaline Junkies (https://amzn.to/35FIwCn) One day your car's check engine light will come on. It's a pretty vague warning that doesn't tell you much. What could it be? Sometimes it's nothing. In fact, often it is nothing. Listen as I reveal one of the most likely reasons it comes on and the simple fix. Source: Phil Edmonston author of The Lemon-Aid Car Guide (https://amzn.to/33wtJaC) Learn more about your ad choices.

Many of us, especially those who experience anxiety, tend to view boredom as a negative state—something to be avoided at all costs. However, I challenge this perspective and invite you to explore the hidden benefits of boredom. It can actually serve as a pathway to mental clarity and tranquility, helping to restore our natural peace.I begin by discussing the common aversion to stillness and unstructured time that many anxious individuals face. In a world saturated with constant stimulation, the very idea of being bored can trigger discomfort. This discomfort often leads us to fill our time with distractions—social media, snacking, or busy tasks—in a bid to escape that empty space. Yet, I argue that this avoidance keeps our nervous systems in a perpetual state of low-level stress and robs us of essential moments for healing and reflection.In this episode, I redefine boredom as a signal rather than a problem. It indicates that our brain is seeking something to engage with. It's not inherently bad; instead, it can provide a needed pause for mental rest. I outline how this state of mental restlessness differs fundamentally from feelings of depression and apathy, which can mislead individuals into fearing they are fundamentally unwell when they're merely experiencing a temporary state of boredom. Recognizing boredom as a safe and natural experience invites us to engage with it more gently and curiously, rather than as something to escape or dread.#DeepRest#MindfulnessMoment#AnxietySolution#BoredomIsGood#InnerPeaceJourney#DigitalWellbeing#QuietRevolution#ConsciousLiving#VagusNerveHealing#EmotionalFreedom#CreativeFlow#ProblemSolvingPower#SelfAwarenessBoost#StressDetox#MindfulPause#UnplugAndRecharge#StillnessPractice#BrainBreak#HolisticWellness#LifeBalanceTips#MentalClarity#InnerGuidanceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Do you feel constantly distracted? Learn how embracing boredom can unlock creativity and meaning. In this podcast episode, Cully Taylor reflects on growing up in the 70s/80s when boredom was inevitable due to lack of constant entertainment and stimulation. She discusses how boredom can actually be beneficial, acting as a motivator to find meaningful activities and promoting creativity, problem-solving and fresh perspective. She challenges listeners to try "intentional boredom" - creating tech-free moments to allow the mind to wander and make unexpected connections. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this introspective episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee unpacks an overlooked emotion: boredom. Flashing back to the early COVID days of spinning in an office chair and playing ping pong alone, Baylor explores why boredom makes us uncomfortable—and how learning to sit still can unlock self-awareness, clarity, and power. He challenges the hustle-obsessed mindset, sharing insights from Buddhist philosophy, military preparation, and his own practices to help listeners turn silence into strategy. If you've been feeling “off,” unmotivated, or anxious about not doing enough—this episode is your permission to be still and your playbook to grow in it. Key Takeaways: Stillness Reveals the Truth: We avoid boredom because it forces us to face ourselves—but that's exactly where growth begins. Boredom Is a Privilege: If you have time to be bored, you're already ahead. Use that margin to your advantage. Sit Without a Purpose: Practice sitting still not to plan, fix, or produce—but simply to be. That's where clarity emerges. Prepare in the Quiet: Like the military develops planes long before battle, use your downtime to sharpen your skills and expand your arsenal. New Battles Will Come: Don't waste the rare calm. Use it to prepare for your next level, not to coast in comfort. Notable Quotes: “When you're bored, you're not behind—you're privileged.” “The biggest battle you'll ever fight is the one with the person in the mirror.” “Sit still long enough, and you'll realize clarity always finds a way in.” “This calm season is your chance to get combat-ready for what's next.” “Don't waste your boredom. Weaponize it.”

David Mamet is a Pulitzer Prize–winning American playwright, screenwriter, director, novelist, and essayist, born November 30, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois. He is renowned for his breakthrough in theater during the 1970s with works like American Buffalo and Sexual Perversity in Chicago, later earning the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Glengarry Glen Ross. His distinctive writing style—sharp, staccato dialogue, often referred to as "Mamet‑speak"—redefined modern theatrical and cinematic storytelling. Beyond the stage, Mamet penned acclaimed screenplays for The Verdict, The Untouchables, and Wag the Dog, earning Academy Award nominations, and has directed notable films such as House of Games and Homicide. He also co-founded the Atlantic Theater Company, has taught at prestigious institutions like Yale, NYU, and Goddard College, and authored novels, essays, and memoirs. His new book, Recollections of St Ives, is out now.We had a very interesting discussion with David about how he first started writing, and what keeps him going today. We also talk about the differences in writing for the screen, stage and page, and he tells us why he wanted to write his latest novel, Some Recollections of St Ives.Links:Buy Some Recollections of St IvesWatch Henry JohnsonAdventures in Publishing-land on Apple PodcastsAdventures in Publishing-land in SpotifyAdventures in Publishing-land on YouTubeSupport us on Patreon and get great benefits!: https://www.patreon.com/ukpageonePage One - The Writer's Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.

12 week : P*rn Recovery // Online Small Group, Starting late August Lead by Aaron Zint w/ 10+ years of experience walking men into Wholeness Sign up here: https://pillar.io/thezints/checkout/002cb6d0-5d07-11f0-a37f-93965abef48bIn this Episode Part 2 of our addiction series, Aaron Zint and I dive deep into the inner workings of addiction: not just the behavior, but the brain wiring behind it. Together we unpack dopamine, shame, neuroplasticity, and how porn becomes a super-normal stimulus that rewires a man's reward system.I speak from experience: I've walked this road. In sharing my own story of relapse and recovery, I walk you through the addictive cycle—from preoccupation and ritualization to despair and false resolution. You'll gain tools on building self-awareness, identifying triggers, disrupting the ritual before it hits, and avoiding shame-driven shame spirals. I'll show you how I used journaling, alarms, emotional vocabulary, and accountability with friends to break free.Finally, I guide you into rebuilding a healthy ecosystem: daily rhythms, purposeful goals, deep connection, and sustainable fulfillment that doesn't rely on fleeting highs. This episode isn't about quick fixes or shame-heavy guilt-trips—it's about understanding what's going on inside your brain, owning your emotional world, restoring relationship, and crafting a life that doesn't depend on addictive stimuli. Stay brave.Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction: Why Masculinity Feels Shamed Today  00:27 – Why We're Doing Part 2: Addiction Is the Solution to Pain  01:36 – The Addiction Beast: How Common It Is for Men  03:07 – Addiction and the Brain: Neuroplasticity & Wiring  05:02 – P*rn as a Super‑Normal Stimulus: How It Spikes Dopamine  11:01 – The Cool‑down Effect: Numbness, ED & Boredom  19:28 – Addiction Cycle Explained: Preoccupation, Ritual, Despair  21:05 – My Personal Ritual: From Benign Scrolling to Relapse  28:45 – Growing Self‑Awareness: How to Build the Muscle  37:52 – Building a New Ecosystem: Daily Rhythm, Connection & Purpose  ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

This is the 150th episode of The Road Home Podcast! Yay, Big Deal! But, it's—as always—also a conversation about the Dharma, and the mind, and how to work with your own experience. And your mind, especially during meditation, can be boring. Very boring. So why is boredom such a difficult, yet important—and creative—experience? What do we do about boredom in meditation practice, as well as boredom in daily life? Using a teaching on working with boredom in three stages, along with teachings from earliest Buddhism on the “hindrance” of restlessness, Ethan unpacks the creative power of boredom. It's an incredibly important reframe of this very human experience, but don't worry, it's not that exciting after all. Enjoy!

Is boredom a problem—or a powerful emotional signal? In this episode of #Overpowering Emotions, Dr. Caroline challenges the modern urge to “fix” boredom and shares why it's actually essential for emotion regulation, creativity, and executive function. Learn how boredom acts as a reset for the brain, encourages self-reflection, and builds resilience in kids and adults alike. Discover why sitting in stillness matters more than ever—and how doing nothing may be exactly what growing minds need.Homework Ideas Schedule daily "do-nothing" breaks: 3–5 minutes of intentional stillness—no phones, music, or multitasking. Just breathe, notice, and pause.Model boredom tolerance: Say “I'm bored too—let's sit with it together” (even if you aren't). Normalize the emotion without rushing to fix it. Who knows what spark might happen!Reframe the language: Instead of “I'm bored,” try “I'm resetting” or “I'm giving my brain a break.” Teach this shift to your kids.Observe your own reaction to kids' boredom: Are you rushing to solve it? Sit with that discomfort too.Create a boredom menu: Use the resource below as a proactive list of creative activities kids can reference before they feel bored.

SummaryIn this week's episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Daniel Koonce, Caleb Talley, and Jeff Amerine dive deep into the topics of screen time, digital distraction, and addictive technologies with Ian McCready, founder of selfctrl. Ian's journey is as relatable as it is eye-opening—once addicted to video games himself, he now leads a nonprofit aimed at helping kids and parents reclaim their time and mental wellbeing in the age of endless scrolling and instant dopamine hits.Through candid stories, Ian shares how recognizing the negative impact of his gaming habit (sometimes up to 14 hours a day in college) prompted a complete lifestyle shift. He ultimately launched selfctrl, dedicated to equipping both youth and adults with the skills and frameworks to develop healthier relationships with screens. From school assemblies to workshops for parents, Ian and his team offer practical, actionable steps for families feeling overwhelmed by technology.What's striking is the universality of the challenge. Ian highlights stories ranging from elementary-age children struggling to put down YouTube to adults admitting addiction to mobile games and social media. Listeners will find both comfort and motivation in Ian's advice: set limits, seek real-life community, and be transparent about struggles. The conversation concludes with a powerful reminder about the value of relationships and human connection, something screens can't replace.

Episode Summary:Welcome back! In this episode, Erin Bradley and I dig into what it really means to keep your light ignited as an entrepreneur. We talk about burnout, the feast-or-famine cycle, and how I learned the hard way that success isn't just about grinding harder—it's about aligning your passion with your purpose. We also get into why systems and scaling are key to maintaining momentum, and how boredom might be your signal to evolve or delegate. Plus, the infamous “7-year itch” and what it means for your business journey.Key Highlights:1. The Light Within: The struggle with burnout and limiting beliefs, and why keeping that internal spark alive is crucial to attracting opportunities instead of chasing them.2. Feast or Famine Rollercoaster:We talk about the common cycles in industries like mortgage and real estate, and why having systems in place helps you push through even when your motivation dips.3. Boredom as a Signal:Boredom isn't just about disliking your work — it can mean you're ready to delegate or pivot. I reflect on how important it is to keep evolving.4. The 7-Year Itch:We discuss how roughly every seven years, entrepreneurs face a crossroads where passion fades, and how recognizing this can help you make smarter decisions for your business and wellbeing.Final ThoughtBurnout is real, but so is the power to reignite your fire. Keep your light on, embrace change, and build a business and life that excite you every day.

What if death isn't inevitable but a solvable problem? This episode explores how biohacking is reshaping our understanding of mortality, legacy, and the limits of human performance.
