Slow Living Practice of the Day: Schedule Time To Do Absolutely Nothing
It sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? But we schedule time for everything else. Like work, time spent with friends, a visit to the doctor, a date, school, hair and nails, playdates, grocery shopping and so many more essential and non-essential events. It’s natural that in our slow living journey, we should schedule time to slow down and do nothing. Your “doing nothing” may look different to mine, because doing nothing can mean different things depending on your personality.
While I’ve written a separate post on the art of doing nothing, right now, let’s focus on making some breathing room in our schedules for whatever it is you want more time for. Not everyone is afforded a lot of down time, but everyone has SOME time. And if you can’t afford any time for nothing, this is a time to consider whether you are happy living with a full schedule or if you could benefit from a reprieve. How can you rearrange, declutter, omit from your schedule so you can afford time for your priorities? For today, use whatever time you have to do absolutely nothing. You may end up just where you belong.
