Embracing Niksen can be a critical countermeasure to stress, offering a moment of reprieve that can significantly impact our mental health, Redelinghuys said.Spiritual counsellor Yvonne de Bruin said that it all starts with simply delaying tasks and actions that would not compound into greater stress.

Dr Redelinghuys added that it will take getting used to. “Feeling restless or guilty when trying to do nothing is normal. It is a sign that you are not used to giving yourself a break,” he said. Overcoming these feelings is part of the journey towards incorporating Niksen into your day, to allow your mind to wander without a goal in mind. “It can lead to unexpected insights and ideas,” he said.
