Rec | BEING OKAY WITH DOING NOTHING

🛏️

Sometimes I get in bed, I’ve done nothing but breathe, stay in place, and distract myself for the entire day, and I feel a pretty heavy weight that’s only gotten bigger as I’ve gotten older; you know that voice that says, “i’ve got to do what this successful person did or i need to finally take that advice or i need to be PRODUCTIVE”. and in fact, I spent the whole day worrying so much about being productive that I didn’t do anything I really wanted to do in the first place. And that’s okay! We are not machines, we’re not broken or repaired, we just are. we are not measured by what we can produce, even though the society we live in wants us to feel that way soooo bad. Fuck that. find the love in the world and everything else will fall into place. be okay with doing nothing

Staying human

So much is invested in telling us that we have to be “productive” and optimized and more like machines. I‘m still working on shaking that guilty feeling when I do ”nothing.” But it’s not nothing. It‘s actually rebellion to chill out for a day and let the mind and body rest

normalize being bored

i feel like i gotta let myself be bored more. i freak out when i have nothing stimulating or nothing to do, but in a society that relies so heavily on productivity and buying stuff, how about i just let myself have nothing to do? and allow the feelings that come with it i guess. half the time im only doing things to show people i do things.

be okay with being bored

thats practically it. boredom is so important. you don’t need to be doing something 24/7. if you are ok with being bored, you don’t need to think about what to do with yourself when you’re alone. just exist.
