Taking time to think is not doing nothing. It is something I like to practice every once in a while. Those moments are too far apart these days, but I encourage everyone to find some rutine for doing nothing.

For me it is usually just laying down with purpose of doing nothing. What always happens is that a bunch of thoughts come, and I let them be and pass in their natural state.

I always feel refreshed and calm afterwards. Try once a week just shut off your computer, phone and tv. Make sure your house is clean, and you don't habe a bunch of things to do like laundry, groceries or whatever. Lay down somewhere comfortable. If you can lay in the sun it is to be prefered.

This time a year, i can truely recommend laying down infront of a fireplace and stare into the flames.
