That's right. Doing nothing, like staring into a lake or relaxing on a bench looking at trees, can be healing for those who are suffering from burnout. Just ask the Dutch who came up with the concept called Niksen, which is the art of doing nothing. Niksen lowers the blood pressure, slows the heart rate, and restores the mind. Dr. B. discusses the antidote to burnout and why doing nothing can be the perfect solution for those who feel overwhelmed and worn out!
