(We just heard this morning that octopuses' are being considered sentient beings now by science, so we figured we'd work that in somehow.)
Anyways, meditate!
It's good for you.
Having a clear mind, emotional stability, and more peace are never going to be bad things, no matter what year it is.
These practices work whether you're an A-list celebrity like Orlando Bloom or you're an octopus at the bottom of the ocean.
Being better at life is never going to go out of style.
Orlando Bloom, the celebrated actor was quoted talking about how meditation helps with current problems, and we couldn't agree more.
So the reality is - if you're getting bored while meditating, you haven't put in the effort that is necessary to identify the sensation of boredom and you're still looking to distract yourself with something external instead of feeling what truly needs to be felt.
The problem is - we're looking to alleviate that sensation of boredom by distracting ourselves with the external stimulus, instead of directing our attention within and exploring ourselves. - Human.optimized

Clear an hour or two of your time, sit down alone, think about what really matters to you. Whatever method you use, get to a VISION that massively excites you.
When youโve found that, see what role youโd like to play in that dream.
Too often, people get used to playing the roles theyโre cast in. That can be the person needing to receive help to get something done, and it can also be the person putting all the pressure on themselves to help others. - MeditationDave

Self-Love - the building block to a happy life.
How often do we search for that love and validation externally?
Only to be left feeling disappointed, hurt, or incomplete.
Thatโs because itโs pretty hard to be truly happy unless you treat yourself as your own special someone.
The secret to success? Committing to the "boring work" and going through iterations rather than chasing the new shiny thing.

It's a common problem, that many many people go through.

Accepting death will help you live.
