How ‘Boring’ Routines Make You Happier

Parmis Najmi
About this episode

Everyone chases excitement — travel, milestones, big achievements — but what if the real key to happiness is in the routines we call “boring”? In this episode of Positive Proof, we unpack why ordinary rituals bring extraordinary joy, peace, and stability.

You’ll learn:

  • Why excitement is temporary pleasure, not lasting happiness
  • The psychology of predictability and how it reduces anxiety
  • How small daily rituals (like coffee, walks, or skincare) create lasting joy
  • The difference between boredom and peace
  • How routines actually free you to dream bigger and live with more intention

If you’ve ever felt like your life is “too boring,” this episode will help you see that boring can actually be beautiful — and it may just be the secret to your happiest, most grounded self.
