Is nothing really nothing?

I spent much of the weekend reading, researching, writing and thinking.  Hmmm. Some would say that I didn’t DO anything.  Actually, when I tried to tell someone what I did, I started with, “Not much.”

The problem is that I have been conditioned to think that unless there was manual work (housekeeping, gardening, etc.) or there was a product (gave a presentation or submitted a proposal) that no work was done.  Well, I’m ready to change the way I think!

I’ve done a lot of work this weekend and I think its worth acknowledging! So…Yay me!  What could be better? I was relaxed.  I was engaged.  I was happy. And I set the groundwork to go farther and do more. I gathered a lot of information and I set the framework for next steps.  I absolutely did something!

Is this you too?  Do you have a habit of minimizing the things you do?  Think about it!  Catch yourself and turn it around!  I can’t achieve my big goals without laying the groundwork…and neither can you.  So cheers and congratulations, for all the little things we do every day!!

    Hi Barb,

    As someone who has reviewed books by Hay House Authors, we are contacting you about Frank Kinslow’s latest project. Frank is very excited for the release of his new book, When Nothing Works Try Doing Nothing: How Learning to Let Go Will Get You Where you Want to Go. This groundbreaking book is based on the latest scientific thinking. Below is a brief description from the back cover of the book:

    Nothing Works Like Nothing!

    Nothing is the Perfect Teacher
    It teaches by example. It is non-threatening, peaceful and tolerant. It holds no grudges and never feels guilty. Always present, it never worries about the future or the past. Nothing is counterbalance to the insanely hectic lives we lead. It will make you happier, healthier, and more successful.

    Doing Nothing is the Perfect Technique
    Based on the latest scientific thinking, this groundbreaking book will introduce you to the extraordinary benefits of doing nothing. Within these pages a new philosophy of human potential is born. When you explore this philosophy you will find it answers many questions that may have puzzled you personally, and humankind as a whole. When you practice the techniques you will experience improved health, greater fulfillment of your talents and potentialities, and a longer, more rewarding life.

    Get Results from Your Very First Experience
    You will learn ten practical and immediately effective techniques that require little effort, no knowledge, no mind, no emotions, and not even the belief in the process itself. Results begin immediately and continue to grow long after this book is set aside. Written as if you are right there with him, Dr. Kinslow will enlighten and inspire you to the joys, the possibilities, and the power of doing nothing.

    In your hand you hold the answers to these questions:

    · Why is happiness so hard to hold on to?
    · Can positive thinking actually be negative?
    · What can I do to form a perfect relationship?
    · Can suffering be reduced or eliminated?
    · How can the three phases of transformation enrich my life?
    · Is there such a thing as universal love?
    · Can I really turn my life around in just 90 days?
