Living Kindfully

Taking a Break By Not Doing Anything

It is the Christmas Eve, I still have a few work task to complete but I can finish in good time. I am pondering what will I do tonight? Should I schedule to "do nothing"?

Whenever I have the time, I would either read, write, work or exercise. That's why I am always tired during the holiday season. I try to max out all the time that I have. What if, I actually schedule to "do nothing"? What does it mean?

Should I just sit on the sofa and look at the ceiling? Pick up a book to read? I do not read fiction, I mostly read history, biography or self-help books. Sometimes reading these books is stressful as I be taking notes and reflect its relevancy to my life. Watch something on YouTube? A good idea as well. I used to watch it at 1.5X playing speed. I just do not have the patience to enjoy life. I just want it fast and I want it now. I am constantly chasing the next peak.

Maybe I go for a long walk and let my mind wonders. Maybe that is how I should "do nothing".
