sit and stare

@shifferdiane on instagram has sit and stare time everyday.

I find it so inspiring to watch her pour a hot beverage in a green china mug and do nothing… everyday.

For many years I would’ve thought this a “waste of time” but now I know differently.

Knowing differently doesn’t mean sitting and staring or doing nothing is easy for me. It’s not. It’s very uncomfortable.

I’m much more content doing something. My self-worth is still wrapped into productivity.

If you’re like this too, here’s what you can do to trick yourself… stare out the window or at a hot beverage or at the meandering graphic below.

Eventually we won’t need these tricks, but for now, let’s use them!

Stare on!
