Make More Time To Do Nothing

I just finished reading a book, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. 

This book is all about how doing less gives you more. It talks about the importance of being bored because boredom sparks creativity. The book has taught me that it's okay not to be busy all the time.

I challenge you this month to make more time to do nothing. That includes turning off the TV and staying off your phone. If you're stuck in the airport, waiting at a doctor's office, or even just sitting on your couch, avoid the temptation of picking up your phone. Instead, let your mind wander without the distraction of technology or social media. 

Give your brain some time to just think and be creative! 

This book also reminded me of the importance of saying no to things and people that take away my time. It reframes the thought process. Instead of saying no to them, you look at it as saying yes to something you want to spend more time on. 

I love reading. There are a lot of books that I have connected with and help me be a better version of myself.
