Simplified meaning
Often, we spend a lot of time waiting and feeling bored. Think about waiting in line at the grocery store or waiting for a bus. During these moments, people usually complain about being bored. But if you look closer, this waiting also gives our minds a chance to rest and wander. Instead of getting upset about the waiting time, we can use it to observe things around us or think about something interesting. By changing how we see waiting, we might even start to enjoy these small pauses in our day, and they won’t feel so boring anymore.
