When was the last time you sat down?

When was the last time you sat down? Sat down and relaxed ? I bet that was a long long long time ago. I’m sure you’re always sitting down. But are you really?  

Are you “just” sitting down? Ha? Answer me!!

That’s ok, you probably aren’t. 

You and I both know that at this point of your life it’s very difficult for you and I to stay still, focused and just sit down. 

What we think is “‘productivity “ and “ multitasking “ is actually hindering our abilities to get sh** done .

Can you sit still for 10-15 minutes without doing absolutely nothing? 

Can you use the potty without distractions ?

Can you read for 10-15 minutes without reaching to your phone and looking at unimportant bullsh**?

Can you be on your phone for 10-15 minutes without switching apps?

Can you have an uninterrupted meal?

If yes, then I applaud you.

If no, then I ask of you to start sitting still and getting things done. Do your brain a favor.

The fact is that this kind of distracting multi-tasking not only gives you fuzzy thinking, poor creative production, sensory overload, neurotransmitter depletion and chronic stress, but it’s also downright dangerous.

You simply won’t thrive and survive if you’re always distracted by what you’re going to eat for dinner, how you’re going to respond to an e-mail or when you’re going to schedule a meeting. So focus on one task at a time, and be mentally and physically present, especially when it matters most – such as during a workout or when you’re devoting time to your family or children.

Plan wisely for the future, but live in the present with a clear head.

Good luck, it’s really tough. This is something I work on everyday. 

See how my friend Zain is presently sitting with absolutely nothing in hand. Just a smile. Strive for that
