On the challenges of not-doing
View this post on Hive: On the challenges of not-doing
I've moved to Hive, along with most other people, following Justin Sun's takeover of Steem in the Spring of 2020. I believe hive is a lot more decentralised than Steem!
It’s a hard life 😂

I couldn’t see the point of trying to meditate while feeling lopsided.
LOL

Sometime we need to do just nothing consciously. Good post. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, very important to maintain one's mental health especially!
get the hammock it is the bomb for doing nothing! Also the getting in and out of the hammock is a bit of a bitch so it makes you stay in even longer hahahaha,
The simple art of doing nothing. Its a task indeed, and I know a lot of people really suck about it. I know I am a master at it just sitting somewhere and staring for hours of time. I get it that steems always makes you suck back right in, because in the end it is a source of income, so maybe you also need to treat it that way. If you have you own company you also bounder your hours, so maybe with steem this also isnt a bad thing to do. Just for the sake of good mental health and feeling the 'pressure' to be involved in any kind of way
Well I'm glad to hear you're an expert at doing nothing! Good skill to have.
I think with Steem it's just about balance, and deciding when you're using it, and when you're not!
very true on that.... today I decide for the dedicated Pyrenees etappe on full screen and nothing more...thx for the inspiration..nothing more relaxing than to watch men riding up 18% ;)
It would be more relaxing if that french pretender cracked.
It's either that or another doping scandal.

hahahahahhaha...
I thought he was gonna vomit afterwards, but he cracked good today for the least. I like em honestly....not such a fabricated cyclist he is just going for it, and that is cool to see.
And lets see is Kruijswijk is gonna catch up to Thomas ;)
The cat analogy is very good - a sort of wakeful napping :)
I've spent years honing the art of being bone idle: it's definitely a practice.
Hope you feel the benefits soon (and your coccyx).
I love cats. I'm also getting back into the bone idle thing!

I think you are on to something! If only more ppl could value "doing nothing". I am curioys and gently moving into a space that is somewhat similar to this idea. It's more about tons of mindfulness and no rush at all. I'd love to have that around mealtime. Meander and collect ingredients, hopefully grown or stored on site. Prepare and cook, then enjoy food so leisurely & tidy up in the same manner. Maybe a nice cat nap afterwards! There's a whole lot of doing in this scenario but also mindfulness! It sure would be a change to the grab and go mealtime concept that seems to be a difficult habit to transform back to something more sane imo! I really like your idea though, maybe 4 hours of doing nothing would help in changing the dysfunctional mealtime routines i (and probably many others) have going on! Good for you! Great article.
That mealtime scenario you just described sounds idyllic - perfect TBH!
There's a good few hours in that whole process right there!
