An unbelievably well-timed read for me. Just finished reflecting on the value of a slow Saturday morning, and the sweet release of an online game of Catan after lunch! I can feel myself already missing the point by using the word, "value." I often tend to only offer myself a restful moment having "earned it" on the heels of something productive. Like I only rest peacefully if I feel I deserve it. You're right, it takes time, to not be, to not think, to not do. How ironic. The key is really feeling relaxed while you do the "unproductive" thing. A point that hits home. Perhaps today I will practice! A few deep breaths and some reading at a bench in the park. Thank you, as always, Propti. Brilliantly written and relatable. Cheers!
