Doing nothing for 20 min

I sat on my couch and did "nothing" for twenty minutes. I didn't do anything physically but I did do a lot of thinking. I realized I spend a lot of time thinking about things I need to do through out the day rather than actually doing them. I also spend a lot of time thinking about what people say to me and I tend to analyze it to death. When I was sitting and thinking I started to think about what am I doing and how I needed to get up and do something. This twenty minutes was unusally long for me. After the twenty minutes was up I decided to sit another twenty minuets and not even think, that way I really was doing nothing. This was abnormally humorous to me because soon as I started to think about something I would think.. shoot stop. Obviously you can just not think but its really hard to try and keep a clear mind. This only last about ten minutes. My brother came out because I was laughing and he wanted to know why so when I explained to him that I was trying not to think he then tried it to. We thought this was the funniest thing and kept talking about it all day. Overal doing nothing for twenty minutes isnt necesarlly possible but sitting and only able to think you really begin to concentrate on the bad parts or at least I did. Interesting how you can find out a little about your life when doing nothing!
