5 Ways to start practicing the art of doing nothing

In this podcast episode, Nicky & Ness delve into the art of doing nothing and why it's so important in avoiding burnout. 

They break down five key tips that can help you pull back and avoid getting caught up in constant busyness. They discuss the need to break cycles of constantly saying yes and feeling overwhelmed, and provide examples of how active recovery can be beneficial in various areas of life.

Topics:

• The concept of active recovery for our brain, or simply put, doing nothing. 
• As high achievers, most people often feel guilty for not utilising every minute of their day, even when they have a spare 15 minutes. But is that the best approach?
• The importance of setting boundaries  
• A framework for setting boundaries - starting by defining the boundaries you want to put in place, communicating them clearly, not over-explaining, and setting consequences if the boundary is crossed. 
• The importance of being aware of the language you use and removing the word "busy" from your vocabulary. 
• How to avoid the "busy trap" and lead by example for others to do the same.
• The benefits of practising the art of doing nothing and how you can incorporate it into your own life.
