The art of doing nothing is often seriously underrated - I have definitely been that person who has thought wearing the busy badge would help me succeed in business and life but in fact, the opposite was true.
Creating room for daydreaming, staring at the clouds, resting, walking and writing has made me more productive. It has eased my nervous system, meaning I get better sleep and as a result I get so much more done when I do work.
Often we associate doing nothing with boredom but it is really just being present with yourself. It is giving yourself time to rest, process, and come up with creative ideas.
In a world where we have entertainment on tap 24/7 through our phones and other devices, we sometimes have to work quite hard to create an environment where we are doing nothing.
It can be revolutionary to simply be still and embrace the present moment. Taking the time to slow down, breathe, and savour the simple joys of life can be incredibly rejuvenating for the mind, body, and soul.
Creativity often blossoms from a place of stillness. By allowing ourselves the gift of doing nothing, we open up space for inspiration, introspection, and a deeper connection to our inner selves.
So, I encourage you to find your own unique way of creating space for creativity - whether it's through meditation, spending time in nature, or simply resting. Embrace the art of doing nothing, and do it in a way that speaks to your soul.
