That kind of life is what I long for, at 82 and living with long-haul Covid cognitive difficulties. It also sounds a lot like what I've been advised to do by docs in my post-Covid rehab program. It's hard to accept and makes me feel like I'm being lazy, resting so much and taking hourly brain breaks. But this mammal is taking your obsetvation to heart and will keep it in mind when I start feeling compelled to do more and keepbusy.

Somewhere along the way, no doubt in your childhood, somebody placed in your mind with harsh words and deeds and maybe punishment too, the belief that you’ve got to WORK you can’t be lazy you have to be seen by others and yourself to be WORKING, DOING and being busy. Well here’s the thing. That was THEIR belief and it’s not one that is actually required during your life here on Earth. We can quickly scoot around doing basic cleanup of our house then we can do the things that we LOVE to do. What do you dream of doing ‘one day’? It will be hard at first because your inner voice will growl at you, frighten you laugh and scoff at you, and you will need to face that voice and tell it to go away. Go back and find out why you have the belief of work being so important and air it and examine it and that will make it lose its grip on you xx
