Love this, Julia! I think you have a bit of a superpower. This is a bit off-piste but it makes me wonder if it's shaped your relationship to screens at all? I feel like my phone has damaged my ability to be content when nothing is happening. Do you feel like your inherent ability to do nothing has helped you develop a healthier relationship to your digital life than if you didn't have that ability?
In my most recent period of waiting, where I couldn’t see the next thing I was meditating and a voice that was not mine told me “just wait”! So, I reluctantly that’s what I did and, eventually, it was good.
It's interesting to consider if took courage or it was by default. This particular situation lacked intention so perhaps courage was missing, that came once I gained a sense of direction and needed to get off the couch🤣
I can’t help but think about how this applies to living out one’s/(re)discovering one’s purpose/dharma. I love how you relate this to something so concrete in the body. My mind takes me to the esoteric/big questions lol. 😂
I'll be sharing this with my readers on my FEB 4th publication about the importance of silence. THANK YOU!
That's a great idea! Hmm. It already has some ideas churning in my head. :)

I loved this as much as I thought I would!

I appreciate the tips and ideas you share here.
That's beautiful, Donna. I bet it took courage to just wait. Sometimes that's the hardest thing to do.

LOL. I hadn't thought of the couch as a coach for waiting!!

"What you think is boredom is actually discomfort about not knowing what to do." That's a big one.
I might go make a cuppa, watch the water boil instead of running back to the computer, and see what happens.
Report back! Watching water boil is a classic!
Will do ☕️
