The Beauty of Doing Nothing

Have you ever been feeling like you’re on a wheel? Where everyday seems like it’s repeating and you feel burnt out?

For me, living life as an artist where I constantly create, build and learn is honestly exhausting. It’s sometimes to the point where I feel my mind going crazy, especially since I study and work at my desk. There are moments where I am enraptured by what I am doing and it can get me excited to learn more, but the next few days, that spark can die out. Well, I can tell you, there is a simple solution when hitting that wall. It’s to simply rest.

Leaving days for rest is something I have learned is just as important as work. Well, I bet you’re wondering it’s such a simple thing to do but, it’s not that easy! I can tell you at the start when my projects began to die down, I recall being happy and finally saying, “I can finally rest today!” But without realizing it, I was back on my laptop already starting another project.

When I started making my rest days a habit, I noticed that I was in a much happier mood and I could tackle all my tasks faster! Joy came back as I continued to learn new things! Simply giving time to yourself can change the way you live. It’s okay to pause and rest. Having days like these give your mind time to process and restart. Sit and lay back as you watch a film, read, walk or do absolutely nothing. Sometimes, a break from your routine is the very thing you need.
