And... it is good or it is bad? In my case is not exactly social media (or at least not in the usual scope, I almost only visit CP) but I do like online games, films... And something pretty prehistoric... I do read books too, to avoid boredom.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Some periods of having nothing to do lead to introspection, which has been shown to increase mindfulness, reduce stress, and have other beneficial mental effects. Boredom is probably the worst way of phrasing this. A walk through a forest without anything to do except walk would be way better. Meditation (active or passive) does the same thing. Active meditation involves doing a mindless job repetitively, so your mind wanders.

I know, and I practice it too. A bit of music in the background, sit comfortable and search for holes in the air... or go to a more or less quiet place, just stand looking to the sun (with closed eyes) and hearing the birds or other sounds around me Meditation is something I have tried a couple of times, sadly without success, because I haven't found the proper way yet. The standard methods (thinking on a white wall, your personal place and so on) don't work with me. Still searching though
