Why you're trying to beat boredom the wrong way?

You're trying to beat boredom by doing things that make it worse, like playing a game you don’t want to play.

Imagine boredom is a lazy friend who just sits on the floor and doesn't do anything. You think, "I need something fun!" So you grab a toy that’s too big, or a book with words you can’t read. That’s like asking your lazy friend to clean up all the toys in the room, it makes them even lazier!

But if you pick a fun game that's just right, like stacking blocks or drawing with crayons, it feels more like playing together.

Boredom isn’t someone you need to fight. It’s just your brain saying, “I want something fun.” If you give it the right kind of fun, it’ll go away, and maybe even come back later with a smile.
