Boredom can viewed as a state of too little stress, often experienced by children and youth
However, it’s also aligned to neurobiological state linked to creativity
This state is referred to by flow scientists as release.
Having a shower, walking, doing a puzzle, doodling, cleaning are activities that trigger release.
Our digital world can relieve boredom but it also hijacks the release phase of the flow cycle.
The result is less creativity, more struggle and higher levels of stress and anxiety. This can lead to behaviour issues and maladaptive coping strategies.
Help your children reframe boredom and an opportunity to experience release.
Boredom or ‘release’ is where ideas come from.
Come to Mosaic Partnership’s next event on Wednesday 9th March, 10am at the Pickled Sprout, Harrogate to find out more about how to manage the digital world.
