No need to plan, no need to read, no need to watch something, no need to do a chore or eat while you do nothing. How often do we actually do nothing? OK, technically we’re always “doing something,” but you know what I mean - just sit there and do nothing. Saying no to more things would simplify our lives. What if we became crystal clear on what we wanted in life? If we knew what we wanted to create, how we wanted to live … we could say yes to these things, and no to everything else. When someone invites us to something cool, we instantly want to say yes, because our minds love saying yes to everything, to all the shiny new toys.
