Laziness As Balm For Burnout

The benefits of allowing yourself to relax and embrace laziness are clear. This can be difficult to do since we live in a world that’s designed to keep us busy and distracted. Twenty-first-century living can lead to chronic stress and burnout, and strange as it might sound the more stressed we are the more we 'drive ' ourselves, pushing harder and doing more. 

Taking a fresh look at laziness allows us to remember that It’s okay to need breaks; to allow ourselves the time that we need to relax, to breathe, and to simply 'be'. Focus, hard work, and productivity are good, but not when it comes at the expense of the rest and play that allows us to live as human beings, not just human 'doings'.
