We are all busy - rushing here there and whatever. How many times do we wish 'if only I had nothing to do .....'
Well doing nothing is hard to do !!
Its part of the madness of the world - we always have to be doing something. How many times do we feel guilty if we decide to have five minutes to ourselves? I bet you that your brain goes into overdrive, listing all the things you could be doing.
Children are in clubs, piano classes, football, girl guides etc etc. They go to school, come home and do homework and then dash out to football etc. When do they ever get a chance to do nothing and I don't mean watching a TV. They have to be entertained at all times - parks, TV, games, films ..........
The message is 'go go go. Busy busy busy'. Its madness and one of the reasons, I'm sure, that we are so stressed and sick. If we get a cold, we go to work instead of staying at home in bed. No we soldier on like lunatics.
The message must be 'Do nothing!' I remember as a child asking my mother what I could do and her reply was 'Do nothing. Sit there and relax.'
It is difficult to do because in that moment the 'To do' list is running through my head in a loop. But I am getting there and I am willing to say 'I did nothing today' and feel ok with that.
Kick back, relax and do nothing !!!!!!!!
