The fine art of sitting still

How does doing nothing sound? For some of us, letting go of our "to do" list and finding a quiet place to just sit and "be" can actually be anxiety producing! We know we need to rest and restore, but it can feel like we are wasting time and being ineffective if we cannot point to what we've done or accomplished.
One of my favorite yoga teachers describes it this way.....do nothing....no...thing!! let go of your attachments to ideas, a chore list, your work...and just be present for a few minutes. Follow your breath, be still, do no thing....and feel the benefits of quiet.
