Don't Just Do Something! Red Lemon Club Motivation Idea #6

Don't Just Do Something! Red Lemon Club Motivation Idea #6

Posted at 9 pm on November 25, 2011 by

Think about what we tend to do least of on a daily basis.

Is it doing your admin? Is it promoting your work by calling up people? Is it exercising in between long desk-based creative sessions? I’ll be willing to bet doing absolutely noting at all is actually something you barely do.

When was the last time you stopped everything you were doing and just stopped thinking and doing?

Sit there. Relax yourself. Be with yourself. Observe anything that comes to mind.

See how you feel when you do ten minutes of this. You will be motivated.

    Great advice! I love what Madeleine L’Engle says in her reflections on the arts: “I’ve long since stopped feeling guilty about taking being time; it’s something we all need for our spiritual health, and often we don’t take enough of it” – so true.

    Complete agree with this. I find http://thequietplaceproject.com/thequietplace is actually really helpful, visit it every night before bed. They have an app for Chrome and Android I believe. Really clears my head.
