The co relation here is NOT about inaction and undoing. \u201cSometimes sitting and doing nothing is the best thing you can do,\u201d\u00a0reminds\u00a0Karen Salmansohn<\/strong>, best selling author of\u00a0THINK HAPPY<\/strong>. Take some time each day to sit and just be present with yourself and your thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Slack is not taboo, it’s a good thing<\/em><\/strong><\/span>. Our best thoughts and ideas come from moments of slack, not from a flurry of activity and busyness. Instead of your phone, put\u00a0yourself\u00a0in airplane mode. Wander, drift, escape, discover, resolve..step into nothingness, the proverbial void, because that is where things that didn’t or don’t exist get created. There has to be a void so that we can create. So,\u00a0don’t avoid the void.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The subconscious mind is where we store our strongest emotions. That is where life’s script gets written. As we calibrate our state of mind and body into doing nothing, we release the subconscious\u00a0into the beyond where it blends the old and the new, stitches up unexplored associations and calibrates the new arithmetic to the old to discover unexpected positive outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Slowing down is a hack to go faster<\/em><\/strong><\/span>. Using less energy. And to go deeper. Never mind the naysayers. The rubber needing to hit the road( the default expectation) at all times, actually is a speed breaker and slows down if not stops the creation of original thought.<\/p>\n We are neither robots nor a manufacturing plant.\u00a0Creativity isn’t produced..you run into it, you discover it.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0And that happens during moments of slack, not hard labour.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lounge, stare into nothingness, interrupt set patterns. Permit your interior silence to take over contemporary chaos. Ideas don’t come with an ETA attached.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Contrary to what we have been brainwashed about,\u00a0our best work will come from undoing<\/em><\/strong><\/span>– by slowing down, by giving ourselves space and time.\u00a0Morabor<\/em><\/strong><\/span>(Latin for slow down<\/strong>).
