How to Do Nothing

Intrigued, I asked about Zoom’s work-from-home policy. I was told that many local employees were on a hybrid schedule, typically coming in a couple of days a week. Recently, Zoom [formalized](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/10/05/zoom-return-to-office-hybrid-remote-work/) this. Employees living within 50 miles are required to work in the office twice a week. There is no requirement, however, for employees living more than 50 miles away.

You probably found that after putting it to music, your thought isn’t hooking you as much. And notice you haven’t challenged the thought; you haven’t tried to get rid of it, debated whether it’s true or false, or tried to push it away and replace it with a positive thought. So what happened? By taking the thought and putting it to music, you saw its “true nature”; you realized that, like the lyrics of a song, it is nothing more or less than a string of words.
