I often forget to do nothing. I’m very action oriented. Recently I’ve started taking a few short breaks during the day. If I’m at work I put my arms on my desk, rest my head in my arms, focus on my breathing and count ten exhalations. If I’m at home I do this laying down, usually counting thirty exhalations. The home practice turns in to multiple ten to thirty minute rest periods throughout the week. When I’m in the habit of doing this my life is, self-reported, sample size of one, noticeably calmer and more enjoyable.
