THE ART OF NOTHING


This article is dedicated to all those people, who at any point in their life, feels like doing JUST “NOTHING”.

Every day we all strive for completion of our long list of events ….assignments , case studies , meetings and more meetings , we keep on adding stuff to the “TO DO LIST” to keep ourself more satisfied and busy , but there is one thing we never think to add to our list ,which is “NOTHING”.
By doing nothing, I don’t mean being Idle or lazy, but it is more related to be oneself. It is like walking down the street with free thoughts and ideas which can inspire you ignite you or make you more natural. We all are aware of the changing season , time , nature ,&  government , but are we aware of the change in ourselves , are we still the way we wanted to when we were kids, or probably a little sensible on thinking the same.


Sometimes, we can achieve a lot by doing nothing. You can day dream about the various things you want to do in your life, or you can make a mental list of “100 things I want to do, before I die”.  The dream will be the fire that will light up your thoughts in the darkest of the days, and will be the winning edge at the finish line.

This does not mean that you bring the life to a stop, and start doing nothing in the vein of making yourself more relaxed or productive, experience the difference of this nothing by understanding yourself and your priorities in life. Detach yourself from the regular and monotonous work, and go out for a walk is a part of doing nothing, sitting calmly in the garden, or taking shower for more than required is also a part of doing nothing.

It’s not possible to completely avoid the regular work, but reducing the “all time” exposure on your mind can give you a little extra space to live your life your way. It is important that people read the fine line of difference between doing nothing and being idle and start making the new list of events in a smart manner, in “their manner”.

Thank you for reading :)
