What Boredom and Loneliness can Teach Us
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- The root cause of loneliness and boredom are the same conditioned mental phenomena. They are caused by comparing this moment to some other moment. Once the comparison starts, we get lost in negative thinking. We only truly feel bored when our mind screams, "I'm bored!" We only feel lonely when we think, "I wish I wasn't alone."
Once we recognize the nature of loneliness, we can appreciate companionship without neediness. We can enjoy friends and family, but we can also find joy in aloneness.
Once we understand boredom, we can embrace the stillness. We can find peace in the quiet. We simply have to be, and to let go of any desire for things to be different. This doesn't mean that we don't make exciting plans or hang out with friends. It just means that between the plans and the activity, we are at peace and we are joyful.

I think we are sold an idea that having lots of friends and doing lots of stuff means you are successful and not a loser. When I truly asked myself if I’d rather be hanging out with my friends or spending time by myself right now, most of the time I wanted to be alone. The people I surrounded myself with were not good for me. I kept them because otherwise I felt like a loser. Your videos are so amazing, thank you!!
So happy I found you! Very grateful for the content you’re sharing ❤️
Thank you! Lately I have noticed a shift in my moments of downtime, where my thoughts are hyper focused on natural ways of overcoming the difficulties being laid before us. This provides for constructive and peaceful remedies for an uncertain future. I really believe that the answers do come to those that ask.
Thanks kind regards Josephine
I enjoy the scenery in your videos. So beautiful… I live in the city but I walk and still see beauty in the trees and flowers. Especially when it’s windy, I can hear the trees make this sound like they’re talking to me, haha. I have gotten much better at staying in the present moment where there is never boredom. What I need to continue to work on- when something uncomfortable happens and instead of dealing with it head-on, I escape by playing games on the internet. At least I’ve become aware of this habit and I guess that’s the first step. Thank you so much and many blessings to you! 💙💚💛
Thank you🙏
Wonderful message, thank you so much! I really needed a reminder about these things, it’s so easy to stay busy with all kinds of things, just to keep unwanted feelings at bay.. Great channel, I discovered it right now! 👍
Dearest Todd, just thank you. With huge blessings & gratitude-Maralyn, social worker in Virginia. I listen to you every evening! ❤️🌹🙏
Your videos are so deep and reaffirming for me. I really don’t realise how deep my spiritual journeys have gone until I hear it talked about and can relate to it on whole different levels now… Thank you! ❤️
Knowledge in such a entertaining format is great. Keep posting such content, Todd. Such an inspiration. I am one of the biggest fans from India.
i love this video .and your voice ton is so nice bro . i went through those 2 emotions lately but could not escape when i suposed to face them . all those happened in my mind and i was suffocated when i icould not talk to someone and i stayed in my head . then the magic of life would sent me a message a meeting or a wassap invitation for diner ..and i finally went through those crisis. when i feel strong i want to be alone . so the trick is to empty or quiet the mind and and enjoy the vibrance of our light instead of resisting.
I enjoyed this so leaving you with one of my poems
Under the open sky in this meadow that I lie
I see you everywhere, this blade of grass
Those mountains so far
This tiny flower in bloom, the bee that you are
When have I not known you? I always have and always will
The unending the never known, you are me and and I am you !
I have realized why I prefer being by myself rathercthan doing what society thinks is healthier...GO OUT THERE! Meet people, be sociable...Oh I am sociable is just that I do not need to gather with people. I have done this.. I feel more empty around people that Do not nurtre or feed my mind with what I find interesting..I like effortless natural social encounters that are based on genuine interest not the rehearsed expressions, questions to compare or try to fit me into a tiny box.. I am never bored when I am on my own but with others I get bored. I love people only not to dive into their limiting perceptions and complaints..I do thank youtube, internet that allows me to listen to and watch inspiring meaningful things.
Even though it’s not new to me or there many ppl talking about the same thing.. i still like listening to you. Thank you 🙏🏼
U just changed my life thank u
Accept the NOW and be receptive without any resistance... Boredom and loneliness dissolves and solitude and stillness arises♥️♥️♥️
thank you for these words! I myself live with "boredom" and "loneliness" which I enjoy and love! :)
Your words help me as IV been very low and I feel your a man that speaks true words 😇
I saw this at the perfect time, thank you!
Thoughts to live by. Boredom and loneliness, when I feel these emotions, I am too focused on myself and my place in the world. During such times, I disappear into the wilderness. I realize how beautiful natural the world is, the focus is no longer on myself. I am thankful for being able to enjoy the magnificence and beauty of the plants and animals that call this place home. Again, am thankful for my life.
aw,another real good one. thank you !!!

Life is all about being entertained nobody just sits in there room and stare at the wall boredom is a real thing we all as humans must be working or being entertained in some way or we will all go insane
This is a great video thanks ❤
Boredom is the place of NEED for expanding and growth.
Lonelness is a lack of connection in general but also connection with shared intrest.
Humans are social
Engaging in learning
Define unmet needs and try to met them.
Know they self
Self realization
Self actualization
Self determination
Self leadership
Self friendship

Fear of suffering
Yes. 🙂
Problem is I feel lonely due to oneness... if everyone is just me in different masks, this is the most lonely thing ever. Anybody got advice to rid this loneliness?
I am always alone except at work.
My dog passed away on Christmas last year (he was my reason to get up and go out and enjoy life, was my everything), then my car died, followed by the only family I had moving and me staying here and therefore becoming totally alone.
Was hard at first but now I am used to it but have found I have become anti-social outside of work to the point I get anxiety even going to the grocery store.
I get invited all the time to events or parties by people at work but I refuse, my brain won't let me.
I feel like I am not like other people, like I see the world a different way and that most are a liability to be around.
I am not depressed because I don't believe in that, I believe we have everything we need inside to handle those feelings without, prescription drugs, alcohol or drugs.
I'm with you.. but I'm alone at work

Never thought I could love something unconditionally but he taught me that in our short time together.
I still keep his bowl, ball and collar next to my bed and his ashes close by to remind me.

Mister “ Todd “.
I’ll meet you in that place Where your spiritual conclusions Are starting to crack open That’s where the creativity lies That’s where the newness shines That’s where we can truly meet: Beyond the image Your imperfections Are so perfect In this light I don’t want you to be perfect I want you to be real
Mister Todd
I can tell my smart phone messed me up.
Now UA-cam shorts is messing me up even more.
I can feel my trauma fester.
That’s not true because my life got bad when technology came out. I keep getting worse because I’m in an environment where they are against me and I am old fashioned and I don’t have nobody

Embarrassment
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generosity!
