“If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live.” - Lin YutangI just had a conversation with a friend about this. She’s taking care of her mom and she’s taking care of her brother.She has no time for herself. Because she’s always wrapped up in everything else.She finally took a day to herself and went invisible.Every single one of us needs to have time to do absolutely nothing of value or worth.It could be sitting and binge watching all three seasons of Ted Lasso.Or something similar.It could be just sitting there watching the sun rise and sun set.What do you love to do that doesn’t necessarily do anything other than make you feel great and at peace? Please, go do that thing.Robert’s Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode.
