I love this post! Thank you for sharing! :) I believe that mindful alone time is a common struggle in today’s society with technology. However, I have found that being mindful during work, like reflecting on interactions or taking short breaks to enjoy a drink, taking a few deep grounding breaths, and observing your surroundings, can bring new inspiration and self-insight. Of course, this is not a one-size-fits-all but incorporating mindfulness into 24/7 is a good practice to get in touch with ourselves.
It's a hard balance isn't it. I've always got to have something to do, I think it makes me happy to keep going but it does get tiring. Case in point, it's almost 4am and I'm on Substack because I just can't sleep, so instead of just laying there I'm reading.
I know its a process especially if your “doings tasks “ is your rest.
But do get comfortable at doing nothing.☺️
