The Boredom Experiment

The Boredom Experiment
Remember that experiment that people would rather shock themselves than being bored? If you don't know about this experiment watch this video to learn about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKPwKFigF8U

Being bored is important to get creative, it helps your brain relax and drain stacked thoughts.

This is like meditation, but with no learning required. Go to a silent room, wait for a couple of minutes without doing anything. A couple of minutes in, your brain will start playing games with you.
- First, you'll realize you badly want to check your phone.
- You suppress this impulse; then you will start finding excuses to check your phone. No! You have to fight!
- Slowly you will start thinking about a variety of things. Things you may have forgotten, things you didn't pay attention to before.
- Later, ideas will rush left and right. You'll find yourself making plans.

And doing experiments as a couple will lead you to good conversations. You will start talking about memories, hypotheticals, plans, etc. Believe me, doing this half an hour a week at least will make you happier.
