Practicing Niksen: The Art of Doing Nothing

Please join Denise and Samantha as they discuss Niksen, the Dutch concept of doing nothing. Niksen is not to be confused with meditation or mindfulness but instead it is being intentional about doing absolutely nothing.

The goal of Niksen is to take a step back from whatever you are doing and just let everything be as it is without actually being an active participant. It’s much harder than it sounds!

Ideally, practicing Niksen allows the mind to wander as in daydreaming, which in turn can lead to enhanced creativity, productivity and a less judgmental, calmer approach to life!
