Despite the fact that many people feel tired all the time, the idea of taking a few days off for yourself still seems like a feat.
If you see it as a third party, this thought does not make much sense. After all, why not get the time you need? Especially if it ‘s that simple. It’s just a little time for yourself.
But there seems to be a deeper reason why so many people have to work hard to rest and. Be lazy.
If you look deeper there is a very specific reason why so many people struggle to be “lazy” – and it all has to do with the way we see rest as a concept.
According to a tweet by Eso Tolson, which went viral, this is because many of us believe that we should “win” our rest, relaxation or laziness.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but rest is not a reward. You don’t have to earn rest. You need rest. You deserve rest. You are worthy of rest simply because you are a living being. And don’t ever feel guilty for taking time to rest.

“I do not know who needs to hear this, but rest is not a reward,” Tolson tweeted.
“You do not need to take a break. You need some rest. You deserve rest. You deserve to rest just because you are a living being. And never feel guilty about devoting time to rest. “
His tweet initially worked in response to a follower who said he felt guilty when he could not do things on a daily basis due to a mental health problem.
Tolson added: “We have been taught that our value is based on our productivity. Thus, when we are not “productive” we feel “unworthy” or not valuable. As if we are supposed to produce continuously… as a machine. “It’s really weird.”
Tolson’s view of productivity is particularly interesting.
Not only are many of us addicted to being constantly “busy” at work but we are also addicted to being “productive” and “busy” in our free time.
Even things like self-care and exercise – supposedly a way to take care of ourselves – have evolved into something that needs to be done instead of something that is meant to be enjoyed.
The point of view is important again. If you feel that you need to gain your rest and laziness, this will always make you work much harder. You must always remember that rest or even laziness is not a privilege. It’s nesessery.
