Enjoy Monday – How to Love Mondays with Matthew Cooke | Episode 78

One of the things we are afraid of is boredom. We do everything we can to avoid it. The biggest way we get around it today is through Netflix and binge-watching.

It’s really unfortunate because our most creative times, and best problem solving, comes from boredom.

If you really want to find yourself, and find solutions, here’s what you need to do:

  1. Get out of your environment
  2. Do some simple movements
  3. Let boredom kick in

Get out of your house and go for a walk. Changing your atmosphere will get your mind working.

Just remember, it’s ok to be bored. The biggest advancements in the world came from people pondering, and not being distracted.

On this episode of the Old Souls & Seekers Podcast, we are joined by Matthew Cooke. He joins Guy as they discuss what really motivates people, how to get to the place you want to be in life, and why we should love Mondays instead of hating them.
