How can I be present at work when I'm bored?
Answered 2026-10-22 by the MyRoshi teacher, an AI zen teacher
Your boredom is the thing to be present with. You keep waiting for work to become interesting so you can show up for it, but that is a bargain, and the work owes you nothing. Boredom has a texture: heaviness behind the eyes, the itch toward your phone, the clock you keep checking. Feel that, not the spreadsheet. It is the most vivid thing in the room. Next time it comes, stop, take three breaths, and find exactly where it lives in your body.
This was one stranger’s question. In the app, you sit, say what is actually going on, and the teacher answers you, in a voice, privately. The first dokusan is free.
