Niksen is a Dutch term meaning 'doing nothing,' promoting rest and relaxation in a productivity-driven society. Unlike hobbies or meditation, it focuses on simply existing without distractions. The practice helps the mind reflect and absorb daily experiences, encouraging a healthier work-life balance. Therapist Angela Williams highlights its benefits, suggesting that taking time to 'do nothing' allows for mental peace and reintegration of thoughts and emotions. Ideally, Niksen can combat feelings of unworthiness associated with inactivity, promoting self-care through stillness.
Imagine learning a new concept but having no time to sit with it, to understand it, or to learn how to apply it in your own life. Daily Niksen can help you reintegrate the thoughts, lessons, and emotions from the day.
Niksen isn't a time to do hobbies, like baking or yoga, and it also isn't a form of meditation. It's about zoning out in complete stillness.
