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.

Very interesting article. I think it is a very common feeling and something our global society has made ever present, when the tragedies of the world is beamed into our homes on a daily basis.

Ultimately morality is an issue the individual has to come to terms with and control starts there. Breathing positivity into the world is my first step. However small my acts of kindness seem, they are what keeps me going.

Smile to the world and it will smile back!
