Lazy Days Feel Good

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

By Tracy Schruder

“Lazy days used to fill me with guilt and feelings of unproductivity. I’d push myself too hard the next day, trying to make up for lost time. The voice in my head would harass me with to-do lists and what-ifs, making me feel like I was slacking off.”

“I’d overcommit myself at work and with friends, never daring to say no. But I never stopped to consider that lazy days were my body, mind, and soul’s way of telling me to slow down and recharge.”

“That was until I changed my point of view on the topic. Now I see lazy days as a blessing. I enjoy the freedom to lay around, meditate, and indulge in my favorite shows and read my favourite blogs, without feeling guilty about it.”

“I listen to my own needs. I’ve let go of the illusion that I need to constantly be doing something useful . Lazy days are my time to unwind, reflect, and rejuvenate. I’ve learned to be grateful for them.”

    This is such a refreshing perspective! I love how you’ve reframed lazy days from guilt-inducing to restorative. It’s a great reminder that taking time to recharge isn’t slacking—it’s essential for our well-being. Your reflection makes me want to embrace my own lazy days a little more guilt-free!

      Thank you David 😊 if we don’t put ourselves first, who will? I’m a firm believer that our bodies know when it’s time to shut down for a day. I used to resist it and paid the price. Before I started putting myself first, my body would feel sore from going too hard and it hurt to get out of bed in the morning. I fixed this by resting and recharging on my lazy days! 😊 I’m happy to inspire you to put yourself first on your lazy days. Enjoy the results 😊🤗 Thank you for following and reading my blog. Light and love 💫💫💫
