Boredom – Friend or Foe?

Many of my clients tell me they can’t cope with boredom. They see it as something negative to escape. But the truth is: boredom is a normal human experience.

How we perceive boredom matters:
• Some see it as unbearable and reach for quick fixes — food, sugar, alcohol, drugs, endless scrolling — all chasing that dopamine hit.
• Others see it as space to potter, reflect, or reset.

From a CBT perspective, boredom isn’t “good” or “bad” — it’s a feeling. What we do with it shapes the outcome.

👉 A small exercise:
Next time boredom shows up, pause and name it: “This is boredom.”
Notice where you feel it in your body.
Instead of escaping it immediately, try sitting with it for 2–3 minutes. Ask yourself: “What do I actually need right now?”

This shift from reacting to responding can reduce unhelpful coping and open up healthier choices.

The question isn’t whether we’ll get bored (we all will!) — it’s how we relate to it. Is it something to run from, or something that might even help us pause, reset, or create?

👉 How do you experience boredom? Is it uncomfortable… or is it an invitation?

Just because the conversation is uncomfortable doesn’t mean it is an argument.

When we talk about grief, we often mean the loss of a person.
But for many of us, the loss of a pet is just as profound — because they are family.

Just over 2 weeks ago, I said goodbye to my beloved JoCkJoCk 🐾❤️.
For years, he was my daily companion — greeting me at the door, listening without judgement, and loving without condition. He celebrated my joys, sensed my sadness, and somehow always knew when I needed him most.

Losing him has left the same ache I’ve felt when losing a human loved one. The routines we shared are gone. The silence where his paws once padded feels deafening. And yet… my life is richer because he was in it.

If you’ve experienced pet bereavement, you’ll know:
• It’s not “just a dog” — it’s a relationship, a bond, a piece of your heart.
• The grief is real, valid, and deeply personal.
• Love, whether for a person or a pet, changes you forever.

To those quietly mourning a four-legged family member: I see you, I stand with you, and I honour your grief. ❤️

Please share a picture of your loved one 🌈👇
