Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

View all responses

When my lazy day comes around, I do feel unproductive for the first few hours. I have been taking more time for myself, recently, so it’s new to me.

I usually sit around and think about what I can do, what I can finish. Then I remember that it’s okay for me to take a moment.

In my younger years, I always worked myself to death! I thought if I got as much done as possible, it would make my life easier. It didn’t make it easier during those times, but I am happy I finished as many novellas as I have. Now, I enjoy taking my time. I don’t see the need to rush.

So on lazy days, I sit around binge watching my favorite shows, eating and napping.

The changes I’ve taken to understand that tiring myself isn’t always worth it, have helped improve the way I look at what I do and want to accomplish. The more I worried, the less progress I experienced. I also opened the door to be taken advantage of – fear and worry does that. It also drove me to be complacent. Unhappy with where I was, and wishing for more.

Taking it easy allows me to see that I am doing more than enough, and that I am more than enough. I’m not wired to feel I won’t finish, nor do I feel imcomplete.
