There are days when doing nothing absolutely accomplishes everything.
And last Friday was one of those days.

A couple of us had gone to the beach solely for the reason of bumming. All we did was sit around, look at the skies, gaze out at the seas, plug into our ipods (coincidentally, we all had one each) and snooze. Oh, and gaze in wonder at people trying to ride the miserly waves, while torn between admiration for their dedication and laughing at their foolishness.

Sometimes, we need to just take a step back and chill. All along, we have been sold on this idea that to do nothing is to waste time. ”Look at how bees are always so busy, busy, busy,” our teachers would tell us. My mother herself would say, “I cannot sit around and do nothing.”

I think we need to realise that doing nothing may sometimes accomplish much more than constantly doing something. Taking a step back to breathe may do more good than using actions to justify our existence in this world. It clears our brains and clarifies our thoughts, allowing perspectives to be broadened.

So if you find that you are stressed out to the max, take an afternoon off, go to the park and do nothing. It helps.
