Sometimes it's absolutely fantastic to" DO NOTHING"

Hello all lovely people!Thank you so very much to all of you those who liked my first blog "positive mindset technique"because of your encouragement I am here with my second write up in Question and Answer series.I would also like to thank to all those who was not agreed with positive mindset techniques and think its more of philosophy,unrealistic and not at all practical.

Well we all are having excellent schedules,each and every event is almost planned,so we are enjoying our life by using our each and every minute planned weather it's meetings with clients,Boss,achieving success before dead lines,completing targets,or taking extra ordinary care of our children in school,at home,doing household chores ,spending time socially,having excellent social status so as life,decorating homes,improving ourselves at all levels(physical,mental,emotional,spiritual)uffff and the list is endless.

So we are busy in meeting so many requirements at a time or one by one,so in short we are either busy physically,else we keep our mind engaged being in thoughtful state thinking about one thing or another,either emotionally attached somewhere or spiritually growing through various tools.That means we are chasing one thing or the other ,completely involved in something and often busy.

I would like to thank charuta again that she poured her wisdom and in her words"ÿes! doing nothing will put you on being mode as we are human beings but now a days we have become human doings.
It is important to do nothing to rejuvinate our souls.
It is society's point of view that we must all do something all the times.

I also thinks that we too are expecting from ourselves to get into the busy mode always even in free time.

8)    Is there any difference between spending your free time with your hobbies and doing nothing?
Ans  Spending our free  time in our hobbies is a great thing .It gives us joy,sense of satisfaction ,happiness after putting that much energy ,time but we are so involved in it that  we ourselves  forget everything and time may exceed but in doing nothing  once we feel fresh our body reminds to get back to normal routine,that is what i experienced. Let intution be your guide.

9)   For how long you are doing nothing?
Ans  It depends on how much I am tired,time may ranges from 1 min-30 min.

10)  How did you feel after doing nothing?
Ans  Great,rejuvinated,with power ,energies.
       What I realized when we are doing nothing we are actually preparing ourselves to do everything          in life and that is for sure.

 Whenever I visited hill stations , kerala boat house,or may be my home town,I feel very good,excellent ,out of the world,but after some days I feel like to return my home and get busy with our daily routine.But vacations always rejuvinates us ,taught us many things,fills us with various memories,ans leaving us fresh to return to our daily routines.so basically vacations freshens our energies makes us enthusiastic,optimistic toward's life.So the same with doing nothing it's a holiday which you can take anytime,anywhere,with no costs involved.

Planning life is very important,excellent and great thing.One have to set goals,aims make strategies
to achieve them.It motivates us for self improvement,builts confidence,knowledge,and facing situations ,challenges of ones life boldy and as we all are busy beings so we cannot afford to do nothing for longer time but whenever we feel tired try "DOING NOTHING"...It really feels fantastic!!

Even after writing my article i saw sadhguru's post stating

   Everything comes from nothingness and goes back to nothingness.Nothingness is the basis of existence.

May be my healer friends put more light in this.Thank you very much to all the readers.
