The Art Of Doing Nothing

We have been swamped by the idea that Doing Something is the only way to be productive. This has led to us being busy in our lives, as we swing from one action to the next. Our To Do Lists and Calendars are proof of how we have tipped the scale with our emphasis on Doing Something.

Doing Something is key to increasing your Competence, which boosts your Confidence. However, in the Creative World staying in the Doing Something mode is counterproductive, it squeezes our Creativity into oblivion. The more you focus on Doing Something, the Creativity eludes you.

Now, this is where The Art of Doing Nothing comes to the rescue of your Creativity.

"Have you ever wondered why the best ideas come when you are bathing?" In the Shower.

The most innovative ideas come while you are in the shower. A light bulb lights up in your brain. This is because you are no longer giving the problem attention, so your subconscious joins the fray, tackles the problem, and gives you the most innovative solution to what is troubling you.

This is what The Art of Doing Nothing is all about. Giving your brain a break.

When you do nothing, you allow your subconscious to spring into action, and lo! Your subconscious juggles the situation you are facing and serves up the most creative way of solving the situation.

This unlocking of your Creativity is not exclusive to your bathroom. Other ways of unlocking it are Walking, Hobbies, Taking breaks, and Resting. As long as you are Doing Nothing, your Creativity has the space to rise.

ALL IN ALL

Doing Nothing makes you more Creative.

Have an exciting weekend!

Remember to Do Nothing.


P.S.

When did the most Creative idea you had come to you?


Carpe Diem!

This is interesting Samuel Kimu . I haven't thought of it from the angle of doing nothing however, I usually spare some alone times. During these, I get real break and connect with myself.
