Coffee and doing nothing

Something real interesting. This book's now on top of my X'mas wishlist!!

"On the very morning I realised I had a thinking problem, I was ready to start on my toxic thinking spree when I decided to stop and drink coffee instead - but really DO NOTHING but drink my coffee. For the next 10 minutes I forced myself not to think or talk about my problems. I just stopped and smelled the coffee. (Whiffed that wafting aroma.) I saw the coffee. (Stared at the pretty milk swirls.) Tasted the coffee. (Savoured every good to bitter to best nuance.) I became the coffee. (Went from coffee bean to coffee being.) And if/when I found my anxious morning mind drifting to upsetting work or love problems, I redirected it back to my coffee's aroma, and stopped my mind from a-roaming to negative thoughts."
- excerpt from Karen Salmansohn's book, How to Change Your Entire Life By Doing Absolutely Nothing.

Ah, the simplistic powers of doing nothing.
