do nothing for two minutes

Posted on February 25th, 2011

Dearest Reader of This Blog,

Should you find yourself today: agitated, bossed about, distracted, thinking that you’re crap and you’ll never be able to get task X done, that you don’t have enough time, that there’s too much to do…do nothing for two minutes.

I’ve found a link that will help. I just swear it does.

Not much to it. Just click here. There are nice waves on it. Be awashed.

Love from Sarah x

    Absolutely love the idea – whether I have something to stare at or not. And should do it every day. Just breathe. :-) Thanks Sarah.

    I love do nothing for 2 minutes. It works. When I can actually make it the whole 2 minutes.

    Since I’m incapable of actually doing -nothing- for 2 minutes, I really like this site I recently found, similar to your ‘FAIL IF YOU MOVE’ ocean site. :)

    You can breathe, relax, chant OM in perfect sync with other visitors around the globe. I find a good 3-5 minutes of focused breathing to be most restorative.

    I had a giggle at the end. You know that clip of a car driving on a winding road in the country and it looks so beautiful and serene and then suddenly this demented twit comes up on the screen and just screams at you…….too funny!

    so simple, but really something I need to work on. Sometimes I just feed my stress more stress. Taking two minutes can really make a difference.

    I failed haha. But what an awesome tool to bookmark for future use. Sometimes we need those reminders to just slow down and breathe, and so nothing.

    I thought it was a little gimmicky. I prefer a real grounding exercise for a few minutes with real earth, sun, air, than to stare at a countdown clock, listening to fake digitised ocean, whilst being bathed in wi-fi signal. Or even a mini meditation, a little prayer, or something…whatever happened to looking out the window! If there’s no window to look out of, perhaps that why there’s stress to resolve.
