For the past week, Whole Life Challenge participants have been spending at least 10 minutes daily of doing nothing. Yes, this week’s lifestyle practice is actually focused on nothing- specifically doing nothing- for a minimum of 10 minutes each day. No phone, no music, no sleeping- not even meditation is allowed. Just relaxing, and not doing anything at all. In practicing this over the past week I have found that it has been a great time to process. Not actually thinking about anything or reflecting on something particular (that isn’t allowed- because that is doing SOMETHING!)- but by just sitting there with no purpose- ideas, thoughts, and insights have passively entered my mind. I have suddenly recalled things I was actively trying to remember earlier in the day. I have had interesting solutions emerge to problems I was trying to solve, I have thought about people who I have not considered in a long time. So with zero goal of accomplishing anything- there were definitely benefits for me to taking the time to sit still and just do nothing for 10 minutes daily. Try it for a few days in a row– let us know how it goes!
