Do Nothing To Do More

I know what you are thinking. “Are you crazy? I have more to do right now than I’ve ever had before, and you want me to stop and do nothing?” That’s right! I want you to stop and do nothing for at least 10-15 minutes each day. Even longer if you can. Some advise 45-60 minutes a day, though I think you can still see amazing results with just 10-15.

I want you to sit in quietness each day. Just as centering ourselves is an aspect of our martial art training, we must center ourselves before taking on the challenges each day presents us with.

You can try meditation, quiet time, prayer, or anything that helps you focus on your deep inner voice and what is important to you and for you to lead the life you desire. Personally, various forms of meditation help me. I’ll be posting reviews of various meditation books on the blog and the review pages that will be added to the website in the near future. (These pages will make it easier to see all the reviews available.)

It might be difficult at first, but you’ll find that by doing “nothing” you actually fortify your body and mind and come up with some creative thoughts and solutions to various things in your life. Taking a few minutes each day to do nothing helps us recharge and bring ourselves back into balance.

So carve out a part of your day, each and every day, to do nothing. Find the time that is best for you. Connect with yourself, with nature, with your spiritual side regardless your faith. This personal quiet time will help relax both your body and mind and allow you to improve the flow of energy you possess. This time will help you create balance and discover your warrior’s edge.
