When rest feels like failure and relaxation becomes work
Ah yes. This is what I refer to as ‘productivitis.’ A terrible affliction which has plagued me most of my life.
It all stems from growing up in a society that teaches ambition and striving as the keys to ‘success.’
I grew up hearing phrases like “i’ll sleep when i’m dead.” I was also told to avoid “dead time” at all costs.
It’s taking time and conscious effort to turn this ship around but she’s slowly turning 🤍
