When was the last time you sat and did nothing? I don’t mean scrolling on social media or mindlessly watching Netflix. When was the last time you sat and focused on nothing at all for any amount of time? 

If you’re listening to this podcast, I’m going to guess it’s been a while. 

These days we live in a world where our self-worth is directly tied to our work. Which means that we tend to keep going, going, going without ever stopping for a true brain break. 

But our brains are not designed to be “on” all the time. In fact, when you give your brain time to simply stop and rest, you’ll find that you are more productive than ever before. 

How do you get comfortable doing nothing? Easy. You practice. And in this episode I’ll show you how to get started.
