The sweetness of doing nothing

If you are like me and have worked for hours without a break to perfect a component across your design system, made plans just to know that you have them, said yes to every social invite with reckless abandon for your own schedule🤣, or felt proud about grinding through the weekend, then the practice of "Il Dolce far Niente" (the sweetness of doing nothing) will replenish you.

Dora Kamau, meditation teacher, shares "Doing nothing can be one of the sweetest things in the world. It can often make you more productive, relaxed, and ready to cherish and savor the things you really want to do."

To practice this set aside time where you have "no plan and no agenda, it's about living in the moment relaxing and allowing things to unfold with zero expectations. We often believe that a busy mind is a productive mind or a busy life is a product life, but it's those moments when we are present and connected to the flow and unfolding of life that we find a greater sense of meaning and fulfillment"
