I discovered something similar in the book "Lead Yourself First". It boiled down to: give yourself time alone with your thoughts. We've become so used to being easily distracted by checking social media, turning on the TV, browsing randomly. We've forgot how to be bored.
There is a dive bar close to me(in Chicago) that had no TVs, no wifi, and no cell service(at least for my provider). Pre-COVID, I would go there regularly to just be forced away from it all. I would read, sketch, talk to regulars, or just stare into the void.
When I lived 2.5 miles from work, I would just walk to work. Some days I would listen to a podcast, but mostly I was just stuck alone with my thoughts. It helped me level out a lot.
