About this episode
Boredom. Can it be good for us? Are there health benefits? What does it mean to step back from our lives for a moment and tune into ourselves? Boredom is more than just a time waster -- rather, it can be a productive pause in our days to spur creativity and productivity.
In this episode of Positivity on Fire, host Jason Ramsden dives into the positive side of boredom and offers insights into the benefits of this long despised part of our lives.
