The Magic of Doing Nothing

I spent twenty years believing that rest was something I had to earn.

That productivity was the price of existence. That my value was directly proportional to my output, my usefulness, my constant forward motion.

Then my body made the decision for me. It said: sit down. Be still. Or I will make you.

And in that forced stillness, I discovered something the productivity cult doesn’t want you to know.

Doing nothing is magic.
