The value of doing nothing (I must remind myself)

Filed under: Life Balance — admin @ 3:39 pm

This month’s Real Simple Magazine (www.realsimple.com) features an article on the art of doing nothing. As I remain on my life balance kick these days, I have gotten to think about what doing nothing looks like for me.

For some people, doing nothing can be sitting on the porch, looking at a view for hours. Or it can be meditating. Those don’t quite work for me. My doing nothing is a bit more different from that — either a bit more “active” or even more “passive.”

“Active” doing nothing for me looks like reading a magazine, reading fiction, baking, or taking a walk. “Passive” doing nothing for me looks like napping or watching television. Those are the ways that I like to do nothing.

What does doing nothing look like for you?
