BOREDOM - Teal Swan

[@kendallworrell243]

I just watched some of the hate videos against Teal Swan. I can't imagine her having bad intentions with her teaching. A lot of what Teal says resonates and feels like I already knew it deep inside. Maybe plagiarism, but everything that a person thinks has already been thought before. It hurt me to hear people so hateful towards someone else. They are focusing their energy in the wrong place. This is my first KZbin comment ever.. and I felt the need to thank Teal for helping me think about life from a different prospective. Please don't stop doing you Teal.

[@bunknee1220]

Kendall Worrell yes!!

[@christopherklimek7484]

right.

[@Theodoric3]

I think in time this to will come to pass. They say this hateful stuff because they don't understand, or even perceive truth.

[@Mmmmkaaay]

Anyone who is in the public eye will be demonized in one way or another. It's just how humanity rolls.

[@GiselleBellyDancer]

There are haters everywhere, this means she is equally loved, I'm greatful for her life, her videos help me a lot. 🙏

[@Bookooky]

Notes: Interest = focussed attention. Boredom = weariness and restlessness as a result of lack of interest. This is so painful because: - The purpose of life = expansion. - Interest enables this movement. - Stagnation resulting from lack of interest leads to boredom and restlessness. - Stagnation is painful, and we become apathetic. When you are bored: - Thoughts are focussed upon thoughts of what you do not have. - Focus = what is preventing you from having what you want. - there is wanting. - Eg. Raining outside, preventing you from "moving forward" to interest (playing outside). People who struggle with boredom regularly: - Are constantly doubting whether we will get what we want, and have impatience to get it. - You have chronically experienced wanting and not having due to opposition. - We distract ourselves to reduce pain in the present moment. - This enhances unfulfillment. Antidotes to boredom: 1) Boredom = lack of movement. Take our foot off the brake pedal. Stop getting in the way. Pursue interests, or explore. 2) become aware of what you want. What are you focusing on? 3) How is this wanting able to be fulfilled? How are these road-blocks to getting it untrue? 4) The completion process. 5) Are you thinking your thoughts? Or watching them?

[@manifestingmaren]

Before I was "awake" I always felt bored..things that would entertain and excite people never did it for me...but now learning about this stuff is what excites me and keeps my focus

[@apollofateh324]

Yup yup

[@cameronforbes2071]

[@angelsrosena]

what were you doing before "awake" snoring? LOL

[@aphysique]

Maren Kritz not anymore though are you?🤔😁🙏

[@CockneyRebel1979]

Yep! I was taught: "'I want' don't get!" as a kid. That definitely resonates.

[@awakeningmatters1111]

I think school gives me bordom. It makes me feel controlled and trapped. this feeling of captivity is like preventing me from being free. its a really painfull place, forced to learn stuff that is not my purpose in life. feeling stupid everytime I cant complete homework. Even places that support my intrest can do it as well, last sumer I was taking a music theory class which was very confusing and annoying but ofcourse if I go home and go to my piano, i play the most beautiful music on the piano all by ear. I guess i just learn differently. I just think school needs to embrace children passion and teach them the way they learn. its sad how I cant get anywhere in the world just because I cant learn the way society wants me to learn. As an indigo child, I know there is so much more to life and that school and parents is acting like a box that traps me and when they dont hear me or understand how I feel, I feel like I am banging on the door saying "let me out". You seem like someone that might understand me and I will love to meet you in person one day . I have hardly no friends, I always try ways of escaping but there is also an obstacle to that. I have no privacy in my house, my mom is always yelling and screaming and she spends more time in the kitchen right next to my room. I cant even meditate, I cant go outside because its to hot, and I have no friends or a car or any peacefull transportation. I know I might be going against the law of attraction hear by everything I am saying but I had to explain my emotions to someone.

[@Pedrooko]

Spiritual Peace how's it going?

[@kellyv6075]

Spiritual Peace there's always something in a situation that would interest you immensely. It's all in perspective

[@Alesanascreamokid]

'As an indigo child..' hahahahaha cmon now..

[@caiqueportolira]

They can't control your every thought, even in the classroom you can find freedom in your mind. Study profound things in your room, memorize them, and think them through in the classroom.

[@spitz999]

School helped me see what I don't want, so I could see what I do want. Ya know?

[@sheepmellow]

So when this first came out, I was pretty "meh" about the message. I've been restless and depressed for weeks at work and suddenly remembered Teal spoke about restlessness before, and here I am, really appreciating and "clicking" with what's being spoken about by Teal here. She really breaks down what I'm experiencing, and it's weird 'cause I just have this blobby mess of emotions but it's definitely what she just said. I took notes and will refer to them next time I'm at work internally screaming. Thank you, Teal.

[@jamesc.2907]

6:03 I like how she basically cites my 3 favorite activities in the world, in that exact order of preference. I need help

[@МиланШпика]

If most people are emotionally illiterate,then Teal is professionall writer and teacher at the same time. Thank you.

[@lyzawhitney]

I have not been bored in at least a decade. I can stare at a blank wall for hours and time will move by like it has been five minutes. I don't have to have patience because I need no patience. My brain is on all the time! When I was a child my mom said that boredom is a blessing. She was right :-/ I'm watching this to try to understand the mindset of bored people, with fascination, because I know with what you say about your own mind, you are not speaking from personal experience, so I can't wait to hear this from someone with your perspective.

[@harvey288]

thank you teal, i have been suffering from this for many years, and just yesterday i decided to do something about it, and this video pops up! infinite peace and love

[@GiselleBellyDancer]

I'm more neutral on challenging situations, I usually see the situation without connecting to it emotionally. Teal you are amazing!

[@michellekatz3798]

I remember learning that boredom is a fork of fear.

[@Petar90]

stop the hate. Get a life.

[@LoriWattnz]

not its not

[@Kelpy]

Way back in the the early 1960's, the space program NASA found research data indicating that you cannot be bored unless you are tense, so they picked astronauts with endless calm and curiosity, and made every effort to remove any obstacles or frustrations from the "space capsule expereince." (ergoonomics) . A parallel finding to Teal's teaching. Thank you. Teal!!!

[@thesapphirem5469]

there are moments that we felt like apathy or stagnation, and we just have to appreciate that moment and be grateful, so we can rise the vibes.

[@ihatelife486]

Grateful for what exactly?

[@summer18ca]

this was in synchronicity with what i just wrote on FB. I just wrote that I was bored and then this came on.

This is great! I have struggled with boredom many times. Then I will focus on organization and decluttering my house. Focus works every time:)

[@jojopoeticstyle1224]

When you can apply knowledge you’ve learned from yourself, & knowledge you’ve gained from other people & you choose to understand rather than to speak then it sticks with you.

[@IAmCatElf]

I need to stamp this video into my brain... I have been feeling SO bored and restless for almost a year since graduating school. Thank you!

[@IAmCatElf]

And now you've mentioned distraction!! My life has become one big cycle of distraction right now!

[@loveinfinity8884]

[@Passiyona]

Thank you so much Teal you made me cry because this has been my whole life at age 37 now this makes a lot of sense...

[@babyzoe19]

Hello!! Love Teals vids. Growing up I was so full of life. I look back saying "Wow, that was me?" I wish I had that energy and focus. I would beg my parents to let me dance, do gymnastics, color things, and most of all sing. Instead, I was yelled at and made fun of. Now as an adult I hold a grudge against myself and parents. I tell myself I should have done it anyways or ran away (irrational). Now I realize my parents didn't have the money and needed me home to babysit. They thought making fun of me was a better solution than telling me they couldn't afford it. Now, I have tried some things but they fizzle out due to the reality of a full work week and boss saying "No, you can't take that class it interferes with your work schedule". Sometimes I'd rather be dead than have another jealous being tell me "No". I literally have ran into several boss' in a row that may have been jeaoulous and tried to control me. I recently ecscaped the grip of my last boss but now I do have a real BORING life problem.

[@kalpanaperera7061]

Wow . I never saw boredom this way ! What an eye opener ! In the culture I live in it is a crime to be bored ...

[@jovanag.2974]

Listening to this video actually made me feel better.

[@ronnieadam66]

Hi Teal,i have been sitting bored for ages and within 5 mins of watching your boredom video I got up and changed a broken kitchen light fitting that I have been meaning to do for ages,thank you I think you talk much sense xxx

[@willdenman999]

The perfect video, once again with perfect timing! Insane how she does it! Thank you Teal, for this amazing advice! I remember coming to similar conclusions in my journalling -- basically, just think about something you appreciate, and appreciate it! Just for the heck of it! Or take something mundane, as you said, and appreciate it! Abstract or real. You can love something that is not even physically present, there is a "mental ownership" that occurs with positive focus that is superior to physical possession. This is why minimalists can be ecstatic while the opulent may be bored. It depends on whether they focus with honour on what they have and/or value, abstract or physical, or not. This is the way I look at the whole "gratitude" thing.

[@suhani6677]

Wow, I've never looked at boredom in this way before, now it seems like a real valuable tool pointing me in the direction of what it is that I want and helping me find the unresolved beliefs that my resistant thoughts are pointing towards

[@blackout2118]

Teall thank you for existing Thank you for being strong and getting your voice out there, I'll do the same❤️❤️❤️ People dont understand you but you're so valuable

[@rasmuslassen6273]

I just don't enjoy anything, not even the things I used to love, so I practically have no desires. I had a lot of interests in the past, but now nothing makes me feel good. It makes sense. If nothing makes you feel good, then you won't be interested in anything.

[@sitrueis4007]

I know this is year ago but have anything changed? If not atlast you had those things before....

[@ael_21]

Wow i was just thinking about this .. I'm not really capable of being in silence..

[@solarhellas6687]

Αm not a bored type, but listening to your video i realized that the not identified heavy feeling that was spoiling my mood every time i was out with friends to entertain since my university years was in fact GUILT! Guilt for having good time instead of staying over the books to study non stop. This came from my mother and even if it ended as university years ended, it never stopped existing. It simply changed form become a kind of stress every time there is a chance of having good time if i haven't have fullfil the requests and demands of any authority figure.

[@Solar73529]

So yet again it comes down to shadow work, there are positives and negatives of boredom, because although uncomfortable it shows you what you really want and what is preventing it, for me money is preventing me from experiencing what I want, so I am working on what is allowing me creating more money, but easier said than done.

[@thisisntallowed9560]

What if I want to do nothing. So everything I try, I feel bored, because I'm not doing nothing?

11:39 Don't be attached to the fruits of your "labour". Labour=the thing you need to give your attention and care to now in order to bring the next step/phase/state of being.

[@batfink274]

Boredom is a thing of the past for most people these days in leiu of all the technological distractions. This i beliefe is why time is speeding up for everyone, less and less down time. I believe this to be a serious issue because technology is dividing and conquering we as a species, no longer do we need people in order to keep boredom at bay, we now have our mobiles which are a portal to untold treasures yet discovered, or so we believe.

[@opaqueopal2524]

boredom when you totally appreciate the now but don't know how to move in the direction of your interests. When moving in the direction you want requires money.

[@opaqueopal2524]

you can keep creating and focusing on your passion but if money alone is the roadblock then what? all this while understanding abundance and lack belief systems. Yet money to pursue the passion eludes every moment it seems.

[@opaqueopal2524]

[@Dequa21]

In my process of expansion I am finding myself in a state of a lot of people who don't understand awakening or yearn for it from me. Turn against me. What I mean in this is quite literally I am finding people who only want to get to know for what I have learned. And not what I can personally cherish out if said relationship. Almost like free knowledge access. I feel taken advantaged of in this way. Someone cones into my life acts like they have a romantic interest in me and gaslight me to feel as if I m the bad guy or issue at hand. When in reality their projections try to make me feel trapped or stuck. So when I pointed out their struggles in a nice manner. They began being quiet and restrained. Trying to make me feel guilty for pointing out their flaws. So the last couple of days I've been feeling withdrawn outlasted or even nonchalant 》 bored. But I know deep down inside this isn't my natural state of being. Learning to let go and move on when something no longer serves me. I shouldn't take things personally especially when someone else shuts down due to the truth if things. Especially when my attention and power is diverted from expansion or growth. I am at inner child work and things around me seem to be slowly crumbling. Boredom being one of those things is keeping me "safe". I am much more than this projected being. I know who I am and I take my power back.

[@zoeglowey2949]

I wonder then how this connects to laziness. Maybe it's the focusing on more of what is preventing that thing, and experiences of trying so hard to get to some place and it not living up to your expectations of what you thought it would be. That feeling of "wow all that effort totally wasted and now I'm tired" Like a "there is no point" kind of mentality... I wish Teal would do a video on Laziness. This video is really great.

That's a trap I'm in currently where I love games and the like to bitty bits but how do you feel afterwords ? Sometimes I do feel a bit empty like i could have done so much more somehow. even by doing a chore or something.. feel a little more fulfilled instead of procrastinating and just game instead.. XD

[@PAU31090]

Thank you Teal I needed this video right now

[@juadwhite1391]

In short when we get bored that means we are not able to manifest the thing we are interested in, and that because there is something prevents us from manifesting this desire, according to that the first step we should take is to determine that thing which could be a situation or a thought, and after determining that thing we should find out a tool to challenge it to reach to our desire somehow (at least getting feeling of achieving it) otherwise we should select between two things either what Teal called "the other thing"( which is the possible substitute of our desire) and enjoy it as we often enjoy things we could get spontaneously without planning, or what Teal called "what it is"( the situations or the thoughts which made us bored) and try to discover the positive sides of it to release the resistance towards it, thereby accept it to make our feeling of boredom vanishes.

[@danihydrant9767]

Persue intrests -aware of what you want. And what is preventing you? -how is these thoughts untrue? -where you the one thinking those thoughts or viewing them?? -attention. If we give all our attention to a thing instead of the idea that your bored then yay. -try to savour something you'd usually find mundane. Eg wash plate. Really feel the water. The sounds. Personify the dish. It helps you eat. Idk.. Try to experience anything. Pretend you love doing this mundane thing. -you don't want what is, you want something else (boredom). You could either do something else, then do something else. Or you can want what you already have.(basically be grateful) Spontaneous. Dramatic life change. -ask yourself if you were completely spontaneous, what would you do right now? -you need the movement. Boredom is the breaks on but also the moving pedal -get paper write what you like in life rn -

[@zabelicious]

This is going to sound a bit weird but I have always been bored (with life) however, I rarely find what I do to be boring. Meaning, I would probably rather be doing something else (say more exciting) but I get some satisfaction from getting mundane things done. I am not lonely, never was. I am now in my 50s and I am unemployed because I refuse to do jobs that just suck the life out of me. I have done enough of that. Now I would rather do research on many topics such as nutrition and mental health. Like Teal, I see suffering everywhere I look. I tried to help my last boyfriend for 6 years to deal with his childhood trauma but he ended up killing himself last year. That was very painful. Helping people is not an easy job. The thing I like to do the most is to travel but I can't really afford it, so I don't. I also have a health condition that limits the amount of energy I have, so I have to save it for things that I really want to do. I used to say to my boyfriend that I'd rather be bored then stressed out or upset. The best time we had were when we were lazy bums and just watched Netflix all cuddled up and eating chips in bed. I miss that. Boredom is not the worst thing that can happen but I am still waiting for that thing that will make me move forward. Boredom is complex and have many facets, sort of like waves maybe. Sorry if my story is a bit too personal for you. NOT ;)

[@MontyRoyale]

8:06: for me, the restlessness is represented by the gas pedal, pushing on the gas pedal but getting nowhere. The brake represents what’s holding me back. My addictions. I will never get closer to my Desire here and Noun, without first letting go of my addictions. Bc my “Hear and Noun” wants me to grab on with Both hands. Seems fitting.
