Play the noticing game: actively notice everything in your environment to avoid pure boredom in a waiting situation.
There was nothing to do to pass the time.
Instead, I decided to notice everything in my environment.
This allowed me to sink into the present moment instead of searching for ways to avoid it.
it’s possible for you to do the same thing when vacuuming, dusting, or ironing.
Notice things about your furniture you may not have seen beforetextures, colors, or shapes.
Notice patterns on your clothes.
Next time you’re enduring a boring wait, pay attention to your environment.
Notice things to reduce the lull, become more engaged, and help with boredom.
