Reasons Why You Should Occasionally Be Lazy and It's Okay (a self reassuring post).

Okay, so people often talk about doing other things with their time like maybe picking a hobby which involves arts and crafts or some musical instrument to make sure to 'use their time wisely' which seems like an odd concept. I'll also hear those who do such activities as a 'therapeutic' thing which helps them relax. And we all strive to get to that much anticipated moment where everything will stand still and we will rock slowly in our hammock of abyss and serenity.

I think that a good, much cheaper and less energy consuming way of possibly achieving such a state of relaxation is just being lazy for a temporary amount of time (this could span from about 20 minutes to even a whole day). Literally try to forget everything and our urge to strive to be better human beings and relax for a second (this is a practice I've mastered... but speaking from experience doing this for too long may have some bad consequences).

Biologically speaking this is beneficial. By physiologically calming our body, our blood pressure lowers and may avoid some stressors (I mean temporarily but it's still good) which often cause production of the 'stress hormones'-- to mention adrenaline and corticosteroids (too much cortisol production without being actually used may suppress our immune system leaving our body susceptible to many pathogens).

Also, it's just nice.

So in conclusion, spend some time doing nothing and relaxing. Maybe listen to some psychedelic shit. Relax. *plays some chill ocean waves... birds singing...*
