6 secrets of a real rest for real holidays

The art of doing nothing

Sitting quietly, without distractions, can be pleasant.

My advice: Imagine yourself in a chair, without phones or music, leaving your thoughts to wander freely. It's far from boring. It's liberating.

The Myth of Occupation

We often plan too many activities to avoid boredom.

Reminder: In your daily life, you run away from boredom by refusing to wait without distractions. Yet it might benefit you.

Japanese study

A study by the Journal of Experimental Psychology reveals that people underestimate their ability to appreciate "doing nothing".

Data: 259 students participated in experiments to measure their appreciation of time spent without distractions.

Discovery Surprise

The participants, after predicting that they would be bored, finally found it pleasant to do nothing.

History: After 20 minutes of total silence, without any distraction, the students enjoyed these moments of introspection. More than they had anticipated.

The Benefits of Inactivity

Doing stimulates creativity. Helps to solve problems.

Remembering: Thinking, without constraint, can lead to positive and rewarding experiences.

The Power of Reflection

Moments of reflection, without external stimulation, promote creativity. And relieve negative emotions.

My advice: A moment of mental vagrancy can give you a great idea. Or appease your worries.

Holidays are the perfect opportunity to experiment with the art of doing nothing.

By abandoning your hyperactivity habits, you can discover the unsuspected benefits of introspection and mental vagrancy. These moments of calm and reflection are not only pleasant, they can also nourish your creativity and improve your emotional well-being.

So, this summer,

Why don't we just try to do nothing?

You might be surprised how much you'll enjoy it.

Take advantage of every moment to rest, observe the world around you.

Escape through reading or meditation. All these activities can contribute to cultivating a different mindset, conducive to inspiration, and inner tranquillity.

By leaving room for idleness, you give your mind the opportunity to regenerate and rejuvenate itself.

This can have a positive impact on your mood and your ability to manage daily stress, when you return from vacation.

Don't you believe me?

Try it.
