When "Doing Nothing" Actually Give You More


Doing nothing but give you more? Isn't it counter productive? Yes, if you completely do nothing in your life, but that is not what I want to write on blog post here.

It is more to do with doing nothing for your healthy inner self.

We, human beings, aren't robots. Even machines need their own off times. That's the idea.

You need it. It is not only normal rest, I know people's definition of rest on these days are watching tv, playing games, surfing internet, and anything that have correlation with technologies.

I tried it myself recently, I turned off my handphone, I backed off from my computer, and I didn't watch tv. What did I do then? I did nothing. Breathed. Watched the best movie on the world (real life) outside of window.

It is best if you can go to park and enjoy the world. Forget about your jobs, forget your to do list for a bit, do nothing. When you do it, feel your body relaxing, aware of your surrounding. Trust me. If you rest by doing nothing, you will be more connected to the higher universe. Why? I do not know exactly why, maybe because we're designed like that.

When we were babies, we did nothing except ate and slept, we were connected to the world. As we grow up, we forget that, we are busy with our "grown up" play things.

So what can you do now?

Replace Your Play Things with "Doing Nothing"


You do not need to replace all of it, just adjust it so you can feel good.

How Long Do You Do Nothing and When Do You Do It?


It is as long as you need it. Do nothing but full awareness to your surrounding is like meditation, which focus on breathing. Somehow similar. When? It could be done on your work time or at morning or before you sleep. It depends on your schedule and life style. But do nothing at least once per week.

I hope by resting with doing nothing, you can feel more refreshed, so can do better job after that.

Improving on "Messed Up"

Have you been messed up on life? Our life upside down? Nothing is working? Feel so  desperate but no good result at all. Well, you're not the only one. 10 years ago, I messed up my life. After graduate from high school, I didn't know what I want to do nor what I like. I was an Introvert type guy, I had only few friends and also almost every day played games without social activities. Even worst, I didn't go out at all, except going school of course where it's just a few metres from my home. My fault indeed. As a result, I was so ignorant. Know nothing. My biggest mistake was choosing "wrong"  university and  "inappropriate for me" major. I gotten myself to Informatics Degree which I "dislike" it now (maybe traumatized). Why? Well, just say that I am not "coding" person, I cannot see a lot of "text / code" at once to browse bug and debug it???? It's just not so me. Also I dislike how we students lifesty...

Do Children Tend To Do Same Career As Their Parents?

Recently, I got a question pop up to my head whether we as children will eventually do same career as our father's / mother's. So, I googled it and found out that facebook researchers did some analysis from their huge members' data (you can read their article and data here : https://research.facebook.com/blog/do-jobs-run-in-families-/ ). From their research, they found out that people more likely to choose same as their parents' occupation compare to others whom their parents aren't do that occupation. Confused?? It means that if your parents are doctors, you more likely would be a doctor compare to your friend whom parents are lawyer. Why? Because we, humans, are "built" by world around us. When we were kids, our minds were like a blank page, and as we grow we learn new things. Where did we learn it from? You know the answer, yes, it was from our parents (including our kindergarden and school teachers, but their influence will be very small) and...
