I got frustrated last night. I had no desire to read, program, or any other solo activity. I called a bunch of people and got answering machines. So I decided I'd go sit at my favorite coffee shop. I took no books, no money--nothing. I spent about two hours sitting there and thinking.

I thought about that this morning while I was returning from my beach workout (I think I'm finally getting the feel of Hwarang Yeh Hung, my first Hwarangdo long form), and realized that I've become obsessed with always doing something, even if it's a mindless something. Doing nothing, mindfully, was actually quite refresshing.

In fact, falling asleep, mentally calm was drastically different than falling asleep after programming or reading or watching movies or writing or practicing languages, etc. I think I'll try this again soon.
