a bit of boredom is good for us, so the next time you have a minute to spare, instead of reaching for your phone, be rebellious: Daydream

    Thanks for the interesting read. It is a good reminder for me to practice more of my favourite passtime. I do fall many times into the grips of YouTube, but I find it happens more if I am inside the house. I don’t reach to it when I’m in nature or outside places. I always liked to daydream and imagine scenarios and hope for the future. But it is a treacherous habit if I do it before bed, since I can stay up for hours doing it. I have such a vivid imagination that movies usually do not appeal to me, I have them in my head and I can imagine whatever I want.

    And I do remember so many moments of idleness when I was a child. For example being in my room on a sunny day and watching the dust particles dancing in the light rays of the sun coming in. It was so magical.

    Nowadays, when sitting in a park, or in front of the window in a restaurant, I love watching people and imagining how their lives are. I could do it for hours.

    Thank you for the reminder!
