The Power of Nothing

Never under estimate the Power of Nothing. This is where if given the choice between doing something and doing nothing, you choose nothing. There are chores to be done. Doesn't matter. It's a beautiful day to be out side. Whatever. Big important meeting to prepare for. That's nice.
Any of those things are great time wasters but to decide to do nothing at all and sit on your scrawny little ass is sometimes better than doing all those things combined. I personally can spend hours on the couch or in the bed or even sprawled out on a floor somewhere letting my mind wonder. Sure, I might think of the chores I have to do or the big important meeting I have to prepare for but those are only fleeting minutes within the hours of mindless bliss. If I get into a zen like zone, I sometimes even forget what day it is. It's like being drunk but without the hangover.
This is why nap time in Kindergarten is the best time in a persons whole life. 1 hr of forced nothing time on a comfy rug. The very young have so much Power. We adults need to take this Power back and force all people everywhere to take a 1 hr nothing break. People should commit to doing nothing at some point everyday.
