6. doing nothing but nothing

After all that talk about motivation, starting new things and experimenting I think I owe it to my self and to all of you, to talk about taking time out to do absolutely nothing. Its important to catch up on nothingness. Spend a day or two listening to the sound of the rain and Sarah Jessica Parker ranting on about single women and Mr Big- for my lovely guy friends out there you can probably compare it to the Entourage and beer.

There are so many expectations placed upon us by family, work, friends, partners and most importantly ourselves, I think if you don't take a moment to think about what you want it gets lost in the clutter. I admit I think that loosing yourself isn't that hard to do and sometimes goes unnoticed. Its not until you remember what you forgot you used to like doing, seeing, believing that it all comes back to you.

I am a huge thinker. I over think, over analyse and overreact at times and I guess the hard thing about that is finding a place where you can just think about nothing.


Its easier to do it in the rain when it looks miserable outside because there is no expectation of enjoying what the sunshine brings - this is because its giving you a break on purpose, for a reason. Don't do anything today. Get into bed and embrace feeling lazy because sometimes (just sometimes) that's what life is all about too.
