Art of doing absolutely nothing

It’s easy to feel like you’re not doing anything. Especially during COVID. But it’s hard for us to accept the fact that we are doing nothing. Especially in today’s 24/7 digital society.

But there’s an art of doing absolutely nothing. To not check your phone first thing in the morning nor last at night. To not respond to that text or email right away. To not consistently think about the future while forgetting the present. To be mindful of the here and now.

Perhaps it’s when we can truly realize what it means to do nothing can we start to actually do something. To appreciate. To be aware. To do something worthwhile…to truly live.
