\"kick<\/a>I am fairly certain that the most underutilized resource we have is our imagination, which is why I invite you to imagine.\u00a0 Imagine a one minute vacation!<\/p>\n

Imagine what it might be like to live in a world where there is no internet, no computer, no iPhone, no iPad, no Microsoft tablet, no YouTube, no telephone, no radio, no television \u2013 no social media of any kind \u2013 no Facebook.<\/p>\n

For just one minute, unplug and simply be.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do not need to leave your room.
\nRemain sitting at your table and listen.
\nDo not even listen.
\nSimply wait.
\nDo not even wait.
\nBe quiet, still and solitary.
\nThe world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked.
\nIt has no choice.
\nIt will roll in ecstasy at your feet.\u201d<\/p>\n

—\u00a0 Franz Kafka<\/p>\n

For one minute, simply be. Do nothing.<\/p>\n

Without \u201ctrying\u201d to do or not do anything in particular, just be.
\nBe one with your breath.<\/p>\n

Breathe.\u00a0 Breathe and Listen.
\nHear the ambient sounds of the traffic or the birds singing or tune into the sound of your breath.
\nFeel the sensations in your body.
\nJust be as it is.\u00a0 Where you are.\u00a0 Just be.<\/p>\n

Notice the spaciousness, the weightlessness or even the restlessness that comes with just being; that comes with knowing that nothing needs to be any different from how it is.<\/p>\n

There is nothing to accomplish.
\nThere is nothing to figure out.
\nThere is nothing to move towards or move away from.<\/p>\n

There is nothing to do.
\nNothing needs to be any different from how it is in this very moment, in this here, in the now.<\/p>\n

Awaken in this gentle moment.<\/p>\n
