Have you ever had one of those days when there's nothing that needs to be done? When you have an entire day to do whatever you want to do and you can't think of a single thing to do? Many times people hate these kind of days. They feel bored and they try to think of something to do so they don't feel like they're wasting the day. What if doing nothing was exactly what the day was meant for? What if by doing something that you don't really want to do you are in fact wasting that day of nothing.
As a college student I often have homework to do or a test I need to study for, so when these days come up I start worrying that I'm forgetting something. That there has to be something I should be doing at that moment that I just can't think of. That's how the other day started for me. It was a weekend day and I woke up and immediately started to think about what I was supposed to do that day. As I brought up my mental day planner I drew a blank. I had done all my homework the day before, I didn't have any tests coming up, I hadn't made any plans with anyone, what was I supposed to do? I'll tell you exactly what I did: I went back to sleep.
An hour later I woke up and took a shower. After the shower I put on some very comfortable clothing and sat in my hammock for a bit. I didn't turn on the T.V., I didn't pick up a book, I just sat in my hammock, my mind was completely blank, it was nice. Why don't we appreciate these times more? There's plenty of time to get things done when they need to be done, but we need to take advantage of those days when we have nothing to do and no reason to do anything. I encourage you that the next time one of these days come around, don't force yourself to do anything, just chill, it'll be nice, I promise.
