Raw Dogging Boredom Timer
What is Raw Dogging Boredom?
Raw dogging boredom is the practice of deliberately exposing yourself to periods of complete understimulation. No phone, no music, no entertainment - just you and your thoughts. It's about building mental resilience and rediscovering the power of stillness in our hyper-connected world.
This practice can help you develop focus, reduce anxiety about being alone with your thoughts, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for simple moments. It's like meditation, but without any structure or technique - pure mental endurance.
