The Art of Doing Nothing
In today’s world, where your value seems to be measured by how busy you are, everyone wants to always be booked and busy.
Having free time is almost seen as a red flag, like you’re lazy or you are not serious with life. What we fail to realise most of the time is that rest is also productive. If you are always busy chasing the next thing, when do you get to decompress? When does your mind get the chance to reset?
As simple as it may sound, mastering the art of doing nothing and knowing when to implement it is a very underrated skill. At the end of the day, there would always be one thing or the other to do, work no dey finish.
So take this as your sign to just pause today, breathe deeply. Allow yourself to exist without trying to achieve. And your mind and body will thank you for it.
All my love,
Jhoye From MANI.
