If you’re feeling stressed out, fed up with being a high achiever who tries to live up to other people’s expectations, or you’re going through a painful mid-life crisis, try a spot of non-doing. Or even better, non-striving.
Can you give yourself permission to sit on your bum doing absolutely nothing for a full five minutes? Not even thinking? Not feeling guilty because you’re doing nothing? Not worrying about what to do next? Not fretting about what you could be doing? Just sitting, blank and silent? I promise you, it’ll do you a power of good if you do that at least once a day.
It’s the best kind of meditation I’ve ever found. It’ll make your day go better, you’ll be happier and you’ll save time in the long run.
