Kick the Boredom Habit - Light the fucking candle!
So, how can you expect to be productive when the stressful situation, the boredom in this example is creating a negative experience. It’s okay to accept that in this moment there is a stressor that is impacting the brain. You know deep down you would love to feel the motivation to be creative - but that’s difficult when the problem solving and self control areas of your brain are struggling.
Realisation and Moving Forward - the gold in acceptance
Not all choices are good ones, you can grant yourself that, but if your brain is in a decent place and not pouring from the negative narrative tap on full blast you will notice you have acceptance as a powerful tool.
Letting the Flood In
This is a personal experience of how odd the brain works. How it can feel like it’s working against you, for some of the time. A lot of the time.
