Outwaiting the Pattern
What Boredom and Stillness Are Really Teaching You
Last week I joined a conversation that left me sitting with one sentence for a few days:
“We need to re-learn how to feel boredom.”
Now, it’s not that this phrase was completely new to me. The Point is I keep on fading it out of my consciousness.
It hit deep – because in that moment, again, I realized how often I reach for stimulation the moment I feel even slightly agitated.
But maybe this week… is not about reacting.
Maybe it’s about outwaiting.
The Foundation We Resist
We’re in a Month 4 – the energy of structure, grounding, and slow building.
But this isn’t about hustle.
It’s about showing up consistently, not dramatically.
Not to “achieve,” but to create something real – from the ground up.
And yet, when we’re asked to slow down… what often arises?
Agitation.
That restless energy that says: do more, scroll more, fix more, move faster.
But maybe this week – with its soft 6-energy – we’re not being asked to push.
We’re being asked to hold.
To stay open, even when it stings a little.
To keep our hearts present when everything in us wants to run, numb or solve.
The Boredom We Fear
“We have to re-learn how to feel boredom.”
It landed because it was so real.
Boredom is not nothingness.
It’s the space before something new begins.
But we’ve learned to escape it.
With dopamine.
With drama.
With distractions.
Agitation shows up in many ways:
-
Restlessness
-
Doom-scrolling
-
Picking fights
-
Overthinking
-
That quiet panic that says you should be doing more
But what if the deeper wisdom this week isn’t about doing –
but about being with?
The Gift of True Initiation
True Initiation doesn’t begin with a peak moment.
It begins in the pause before it.
It begins when you feel everything in you clench –
and you don’t run.
You don’t reach.
You stay.
You outwait the pattern.
That’s when something shifts.
Not out there, but in you.
A deeper kind of strength.
A quieter kind of power.
A space where life doesn’t have to scream – because you’re finally listening – listening within.
The Invitation: Wait With an Open Heart
True initiation doesn’t always come with fireworks.
Sometimes, it begins in stillness.
In that uncomfortable space where nothing seems to move – outside or inside.
When boredom creeps in.
When agitation whispers.
When every part of you wants to react, distract, or escape…
That’s your doorway.
That’s your invitation.
Can you wait — without running?
Can you feel — without fixing?
Can you stay — even when it’s quiet?
Because maybe, just maybe, it’s not time to act.
Maybe it’s time to soften.
To outwait the pattern.
To hold space for the breakthrough beneath the boredom.
This week, I invite you to live with an open heart.
Even if it hurts.
Even if it’s slow.
Even if nothing “big” happens yet.
Your willingness to stay might just be
your real beginning.
