There are people without leisure time willingly, who avoid having moments of leisure and disconnection, however surprising it may seem, this type of profile exists and are not isolated cases, there are those who are afraid to stop, who feel uncomfortable in times of inactivity when they are not asked to be and be, to be oneself and to let time pass with calm and harmony.
There will be those who will say that this is personality, of course there are many who, because of their active and proactive character, always need to keep moving, inventing, creating, planning . . . Now there is another area that is a little more problematic and should be considered.
- There are those who cannot conceive of a moment of inactivity.
- For this immobility.
- That permissiveness of “doing nothing”.
- Gives rise to an encounter with oneself.
- And sometimes this inner reality is not appreciated and seems uncomfortable.
- A fixed routine full of tasks and activities acts as an escape valve and also as a way to forget.
Let’s dive a little deeper into this topic
In recent years, phrases like “Don’t I have time for anything?”They’ve become more and more common. One way or another, we get used to filling our days with tasks and obligations, we even assume that having things to do gives us some status.
Being busy and worried is normal, what should we do? This lazy person, who does nothing, who slows down and has free time, looks surprised in our society.
However, let’s be clear, the problem is not one of those who choose not to do anything for a few hours a day and decide to rest in a healthy way. Far from attributing epithets such as “lazy”, in fact, those who offer leisure give the place a quality of life. On the other hand, with those who are obsessed?are the ones who sometimes experience problematic realities.
The phrase: don’t do anything? It is usually something controversial, sometimes it can be the obvious result of forgetting one’s duties, not fulfilling what is expected of us, now when we use this phrase in the context of free time, doing nothing actually translates as necessary, healthy and even productive.
Sometimes this personal universe hides facts that require our attention, there is no point in hiding at work because discomfort will always be present.
Sometimes we fall into a lifestyle where being busy (anything) is normal, thus not only normalize the inability to enjoy free time, but also lay the foundation for anxiety states.
People without free time don’t stop. But be careful: hard work means no more productivity, they are no longer bright or happy to spend more time in a profession, besides, a busy life without time for leisure leads to discomfort and mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, etc. .
Recreation also has to do with health, and doing nothing at any time of the day can be extremely beneficial, we don’t need to wait for the holidays to allow ourselves those moments of tranquility and inactivity, give you two or three hours of peace and quiet reduces stress, increases creativity and promotes good mental health.
Then it’s time to change our mental pattern: always doing something can also be counterproductive. Life can only be enjoyed when we give ourselves quality time, and this often involves leisure, tranquility and even the art of doing nothing.
