“Don’t just do something, stand there.”
No, you didn’t read that wrong. I’m not saying you were actively living “don’t just stand there, do something” as a life’s mantra, but it sure does look like it.
Sometimes avoidance looks like being busy.
Very few readers of this blog need a pep talk to do more. For you, stillness is likely difficult. I’m not advocating for laziness and letting life pass you by, which are likely your favorite excuses for your inability to sit still. I am advocating for space to be with yourself and whatever the moment brings.
Since the present moment is the only time and place that things can happen in, it might be powerful to be in a moment without some distraction or action to do. Find out what’s there. It might be interesting, especially if you’ve never been there. Let’s be honest, you’ve got lots of experience running around with your head cut off.
Creativity, abundance, and clarity all require a little space. Some call it boredom. Try it.
