With the Twixmas season upon us, Niksen is the Dutch lifestyle trend we need to embrace right now.
, burnout is a state of extreme stress when the body goes into auto-pilot, leaving you feeling like a robot. It can creep up on us slowly, masked by a sense of ‘we’re all busy though, aren’t we?’ and seems to be a particularlyproblem, caused essentially by taking on too much and a need to high performing at everything.
Niksen, by contrast, celebrates the joy of doing nothing and letting the world glide on past. Like a form of self-care, by practising niksen it is thought that we give our minds and bodies the chance to really, truly unwind. How you ‘niks’ is up to you, and the joy of being idle is a very personal thing, so it’s unlikely that you’ll relish doing nothing in the same way as a friend. Below, though, we’ve picked out four ways you can start practicing some niksen time if you’re not sure how to get started.Why the Nordic concepts of ‘kos’ and ‘lagom’ could be the key to getting through winterNo, seriously.
We’d be hard pushed to find one if there is. Lying back and just letting your mind wander, with some of your favourite tunes on in the background is a great way to unfurl from the stress of your day. Don’t feel guilty about doing nothing, just enjoy doing nothing.Now when we say go for a walk, we don’t mean anywhere in particular, the point of niksen is to achieve absolutely nothing.
