Vidyut Jammwal Urges Young People to Pause and Embrace Boredom

Vidyut Jammwal stood very still and meditated at a Street Fighter event.

He said people should sometimes stop and take a break.

A psychiatrist says that having nothing planned for a little while can give our brains a rest.

It may also help us imagine, explore hobbies, or notice the world around us.

Young people can try short breaks from phones, such as walking without headphones or eating without a screen.

Parents can let children have time to play or figure out what to do themselves.

But boredom does not cure mental-health problems.

If someone keeps feeling very sad, anxious, or withdrawn, those feelings should be taken seriously.
