There’s nowhere to go.” 🌻To do nothing allows you to awaken to your potential and be where you are just as you are. 🌿To rest, to be, to eliminate the lists, to minimize the stress. 🌻About 7 years ago we started experimenting with do-nothing days where we’d mindfully move through our days, and it was serene, calm, and there was no forcing, no pressure. 🌿You can imagine what happened to my brain after a do-nothing day, right? The following days and weeks were in flow because I rested my mind.  🌻The last 2 days I’ve been in LA gathering and accompanying clients in transformations. In between I’ve been doing… nothing. 💓Sure I have a to-do list, but I know that resting and doing nothinghelps my brain and future flow states more than trying to force anything right now. 🌻Here’s how to have a do-nothing day: 🌿Look ahead and plan for a day far in advance where you can prepare. 🌿Cook in advance so you’re not needing to do... anything (or as little as possible) 🌿Unschedule your calendar to free up more space. 🌿Communicate that you’re trying a do nothing day and that you’re going to be off the grid a bit. 🌿Identify potential obstacles for enjoying your do-nothing day 🌿be self compassionate if your first do-nothing day is only for about 3-4 hours. It’s a step in the right direction! You’re doing great! 🌿Collect data about the experience so you can adjust for a future do nothing day. 🌻Follow @theflowbrain for daily 🧠🌻🌿posts 💕Reshare to remind someone to ditch their todo list | The Flow Brain | Daily Neuroscience & Flow Tools 🌊 | Mumford & Sons · Timshel
