Nothing to It
Feeling the need to hang a ”do not disturb” sign on the door? If
health and well-being are a priority on your to-do list, take an
authorized timeout and temporarily dismiss your multitasking genie.

Call it mastering the art of nothing. As demands in our personal
and professional lives get more complex, it becomes more important to
schedule time for doing absolutely nothing, even if just for five or 15
minutes a day.
and professional lives get more complex, it becomes more important to
schedule time for doing absolutely nothing, even if just for five or 15
minutes a day.
Start by finding a quiet space that filters out all distractions.
Whether a study or the backyard, choose a place where you can easily
just be–and be most comfortable. Next, breathe deeply. It is a simple
technique that is critical to supplying the body and organs with oxygen
while helping get rid of toxins. Try prayer or meditation to de-stress
in the middle of a hectic day. At home, make use of the bathtub and set
up a mini spa. Drop in a fragrant bath bomb to enhance the experience.
Lastly, turn off the radio in the car or resist the urge to read a
magazine in the checkout line.
