DO Nothing

Thought this article from REAL SIMPLE magazine on line was great. This is my new model. The original writer was John Coolidge who became a self created idler.

Some ways to become an idler or ENJOY DOING nothing:
Banish the guilt-we Americans have so much guilt when we are not busy that it is not funny. If we can go back into history and understand that many philosophers and other leaders embraced the contemplative, simple life, maybe we will feel better about this new pursuit and enjoy some idle time.
Choose the right models--Some great musicians and poets where idlers. Let us take the time to enjoy this thought and take after them.
When you just have to do something ;Sketch a flower, tree or flowing river. Even you are not an artists the process helps you slow down and study the concept.
Go "bumbling" or wandering with no purpose. ENJOY the surroundings-soak in the day.
Bring back the old fashion SUNDAY. It seems people now use Sunday as just another day to play catch up on the other activities. SLOW down and enjoy the real reason God created Sunday-to rest!
Gaze at the clouds, the sky the horizon. What a great way to relax.
My favorite which I really have a hard time ever doing TAKE A NAP!. It is good for your health and your soul. Finally we Americans are beginning to accept this concept, it is called a power nap. Try it while your young. NAPS are not just for the very young or the old. A nap can give one more energy to continue your day.
