Hi Liara.
Thank you for this other perspective. So it seems, “Laziness” is a label of the ego.

Another view s laziness does not exist. Only unconditional love and self-acceptance do. .-= Liara Covert´s last blog ..Attend night school in another dimension =-.

Hi Megan.
Welcome to Shades of Crimson! Well, I say book those lazy days and don’t forfeit them. Otherwise, as you say… anything you do achieve may not be up to par. Might as well put your all into one or the other right? :-)

I just found your site through Lance’s Jungle – huzzah! I love it.

As for this particular topic, oye. I struggle with this sometimes because yes, I feel guilty when I’m being so-called lazy. Yet on those lazy days, I find that motivating myself to do anything “productive” is beyond difficult. Like if I even tried, I’d waste my time because the end result would feel forced and be way below par.

I loved this line: “Could it be that your self-imposed judgment of laziness is an attempt to sabotage fun?” Oh boy… It’s like you’re in my head now (so many bloggers are in my head these days!). Yes. I sabotage fun, it’s true. Yet I say I want more fun, and then retreat when fun comes knocking because I claim I need to be productive. No wonder fun is an infrequent visitor at best.

Thanks for this thought-provoking post. I needed it!

Hi Barbara.
Way to go! Those are the BEST days. Sleeping in is a real luxury, and more so when there is no guilt.

Hi Barbara.
Hey two Barbara’s in a row! I was momentarily confused, thinking I was replying to Barbara twice :-)

You spend time with mooses? I want to see pictures, lol.

Hi Zeenat.
Your husband is good for you :-)

Hi Tess.
I love taking naps. Even 30 minutes is good some days, but… ahem… longer is good too.

Hi Chris.
Oooh, an excellent point — “…if we’re dissatisfied while we’re working, the same dissatisfaction is going to nag us when we’re resting or playing….” I love this! Thanks for adding this tidbit to the conversation Chris.

Thanks for this. One thing I’ve found to be true, in myself and others, is that if we’re dissatisfied while we’re working, the same dissatisfaction is going to nag us when we’re resting or playing. This is why I feel sad when I see people honking their horns and tailgating people on the highway — they think they are going to feel better if they get to their destination faster, but unfortunately they are probably going to feel the same way.
