Most of our thought is usually around stories of what we can or should do. Or what we could have done differently. We are caught up in this loop of how effective we can be in our world by our actions. And, action speak louder than words too!

After years of endless ‘doing’, there comes a time when you step back and try to make sense of it. You realise yourself pushing, pulling, exerting all that effort on many areas.

You realise the importance of choosing not to act. When we consciously do not affect anything and just let things be.

You let go of your need to control everything and put ‘things in order’. You begin to see how things are already good the way they are.

Even if things are not exactly how and where you want it to be, its beneficial to take that occasional hour/day off where you are not trying to change things.

Silence or inaction does not mean apathy. You do not have to endure hardhips or toxic behavior by remaining silent. But when you are on the always on mode, you need conscious stepping back.

Not everything is broken, and not everything needs to be fixed, at least not by you.

So, just let things be, once in a while. Take that time off to just sit by yourself and let your existence come into the fore. Without dousing it in to do lists.
