Empty Space Is The Key

Today there is nothing to occupy my mind.

There is no work, nothing for the mind to get lost in and it is in these times that a deep sense of restlessness bubbles up. I could call it anxiety or boredom but restlessness encapsulates it the best. At least for me.
 There are the accompanying thoughts that go with this feeling of urgency but they can be summed up into: "I have to do something." The relief for this feeling of anxiety is either drugs or entertainment of some form. Television, the computer, video games but all these forms including the various drugs only cover it up and distract or dull the mind. The urgency remains underneath the entertainment or stupor until even the they fail to quell the anxiousness.

Being okay with doing nothing is primary.

Being crystal clear, full of energy and doing absolutely nothing.

Is that possible?

In order to be in that space, my mind has to come to a stop. Then everything else can flow from that space. Being okay with accomplishing nothing is the bedrock on which great accomplishments are launched. To act from a completely clear and empty space is the key.
