Are you okay with being still? 

Or does the idea of not having something on the go make you feel uncomfortable?

We live in a world where it’s possible to be plugged in 24 hours of the day. If we’re bored, we have access to entertainment at our fingertips. But is that a good thing?

In this episode, I talk about some of the things I learned over the extended period of lockdown and home learning and creating an environment in the home where we are okay to sit with stillness and silence.

How often do your kids tell you they are bored?

How often do you reach for your phone or TV to fill in the gaps between busy tasks?

We don’t always have to be busy. We don’t always have to be consuming.

I want to teach my kids that it’s okay to be bored, to embrace stillness, and to have real conversations with people instead of relying on devices to keep them entertained. 

Life has become so much more complex and stressful than it used to be. What kind of life do you want to live?
