Doing Nothing is Therapeutic
The Niksen or Dutch Relaxation technique is all about allowing the mind to take a break from daily life's constant stimulation and recharge by simply being present in the moment. In this episode of The Habit Coach podcast, Ashdin emphasizes that practising Niksen technique can help individuals reduce stress levels and increase creativity. Allowing our minds to slow down and observe, creates a space for new ideas and perspectives to emerge. To practice Niksen, one can find a quiet and comfortable place to sit and simply observe their surroundings without engaging in any specific activity or thought. It's important to note that the goal is not to achieve any particular outcome but to simply allow the mind to rest and relax.
