I decided to start off the day getting bored.  No thoughts.No intention.Just sitting, doing nothing, being bored. Honestly, it was the best experience.  I walked away with a ton of ideas. Here they are:Thoughts: Go hike.Curiosity: What’s a good source of Vitamin E?Curiosity: Is there a Vitamin B supplement without synthetics? Action: Write about thoughts.Thoughts: It’s interesting how the leaves, and light, reflect through the window screens and blinds.Thought: Check the stopwatch.Action: Decide not to check the clock.Thoughts: Go hike.  Thoughts: Go walk outside. Get bored outside.Curiosity: Does the environment change the productivity of boredom?Thoughts: I’m excited about the new yacht rock project. Curiosity: Do I need khaki shorts, a white belt, a navy blue golf shirt, and a baseball/golf cap for a yacht rock band?Curiosity: Was the water temperature I used to feed the starter too hot?Thoughts: Remember that the upcoming mix might be a bit messy.Thoughts: I want to make a podcast with my cousin.Curiosity: I wonder if it’s possible to get bored every day, even with a day job?I committed to myself that the most important thing I do today is “get bored.”  I find it interesting that in boredom, your mind and body almost tell you what they need. For me, a hike is in the near future.  If prioritizing and taking action on your day is a challenge, consider boredom as an alternative.  If your experience is like mine, you’ll end more inspired and energized than when you started.Not bad for 30 minutes.
