The ability to do “nothing”  

    So I came across this post while I was wasting time scrolling through Facebook like the way I know we all do Click here for the post . The analogy used by Mr. Gungor is very precise in my opinion. For example, when I’m skateboarding I wouldn’t even check my phone and focus on doing tricks that I want to do or learn a trick I want to learn. Purely focusing on the box that is open right now also when I am hanging out with someone I don’t take out my phone because nothing else matters right now and they deserve my uninterrupted attention. Thus it is exactly like opening up boxes upon doing different things or in different situations. Personally, I take the information I learn from each box and apply it within other boxes if possible but I sure as hell would not open another box until I have finished with the one I have currently and put it away carefully. If you read the post it mentions that men have a “box of nothing”. When I read this I realized that is exactly what I have recently discovered. I used to always be doing something, gaming, scrolling through social media, or whatever it may be. I noticed now I could lie outside alone, listening to things around me and be thinking of nothing. I’m glad I made this “box” within my mind because it honestly lowered my temper and also helped me build patience. I actually don’t mind doing chores now, cleaning dishes, folding clothes, sweeping, cooking.. It’s almost like meditation in a way. This is definitely an eye opener towards women’s perspective and take on things, although it’s a given that not ALL women have a mindset like that. It’s just good to know peoples’ thought processes so I could adjust and tailor myself to be compatible.
