Ep 120: The Lie of Laziness: Unlearning Our Aversion to Rest

Let me see if this sounds familiar to you… You're sitting on the couch at home. Maybe you're reading a book. Maybe you're watching TV. Maybe you're playing a video game. Whatever it is, you're just trying to relax…and then you hear a car pull into the driveway. Adrenaline rush. You're on your feet in an instant, searching for something to do, trying to look busy when your partner or parents or roommate or whoever walks inside. Have you ever stopped to wonder where that instant flood of shame comes from? At some point in your life, you were taught that resting = being lazy…and that lazy is the worst thing you can be. So now, you can't even sit and watch TV without convincing yourself you're a lazy piece of shit who doesn't deserve to sit and relax for five fucking minutes. Resting is not laziness–actually, it's a proactive way of taking care of ourselves. But to get comfortable with it, we first need to decondition ourselves from the beliefs we picked up as children.
