Although doing nothing can sometimes feel lonely, I think it is also important to give yourself a rest sometimes, physically and mentally, in order to prevent burnout. A lot of people also thrive on being alone and doing nothing, it allows them to come up with ideas and be creative in the future - I think I’m one of these people!
It can be easy to feel guilty about doing nothing, as we are constantly told by the media that we need to be being productive in order to be ‘worthy’, but I think resting and reenergising is just as important!
Do you enjoy doing nothing or do you like to keep busy?
How do you feel when you do nothing? Is it a positive experience for you, or one that you find more difficult to deal with?
wats burnout and being 'worthy'
I don't get the 'I am worthy' bull
With unwelcome thoughts they're hard to handle bc I'm not taught tht.i like drawing 'little nightmares' characters and scenery of Scandinavia. Can I b loud now coz no one in my building atm?
If a professional person is trying to convert u to religion is tht wrong?
Playing the keyboard and singing sound like a lot of fun, can I ask why you got worried? Don’t feel you have to answer if you don’t feel comfortable doing so.
Burnout is literally defined as ‘a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress’. This can happen to a lot of people, and a good remedy for some people that feel this is to be alone, as they can process and try and reduce the stress on their own.
In terms of feeling ‘worthy’, I think it is about feeling like you have value to yourself and, perhaps, society. For many people they need this feeling in order to feel like they have a valuable place in society, but of course it is different for everyone, and not everyone needs this feeling of worthiness to feel satisfied with their place in the world.
