You come out of boredom and notice what you were missing. Your heart starts moving again.

In everyday life

Love: This is a dull phase. Look at what is boring in the current relationship before looking for someone new.
Work: Motivation is low. The problem may be less the work itself than that its meaning is no longer visible.
Money: This is a stagnant stretch. Protect what you have rather than forcing movement.
Growth: Count what you already have again. It may feel absent because you cannot see it, not because it is gone.
