To do nothing.
We were assigned an assignment in Soc class. The assignment was to do Nothing. It seemed like the easiest homework; all you had to do was stand somewhere for ten minutes and do nothing. It seemed so simply but felt impossible. I chose to do Nothing during my lunch period at school. It was so awkward, I felt weird and as if everyone was looking at me. it was really difficult because there was soo much going on, and soo loud. I kept telling myself think nothing, do nothing. I catch myself people watching a lot and thinking. It was really hard to get in the zone but once you did get in the zone you felt as if you weren't there, it reminded me of the bell that Sal hits every morning before class starts. This experience made me realize how people are contently thinking, worrying, or just doing something. We never stop and think to ourselves to do nothing. In fact we think doing nothing is weird, awkward, time wasting, and impossible.

ReplyDeleteI did the same thing! I kept zoning out and telling myself to do nothing, but my mind kept wandering haha!
ReplyDeleteDoing nothing is impossible there is no way for us to be able to shut down our mind becasue are mind is what controls us in the first place.
