I Feel Guilty When I Have A Lazy Day

I couldn't get motivated to do anything today. I didn't clean or cook and produced very little writing. I did do some research but even that I did in a scatterbrained way. I just hung out, played with the dog, watched television. Now that it's evening, I feel so guilty. I do hate wasting a day accomplishing nothing. I always feel better when I get things done. Do you like lazy days?

We all deserve a lazy day every once in awhile. You will make up for it tomorrow, just enjoy the laziness while you still can.

@suziecat7 Onward and Upward as the saying goes. As I said, we all need our "lazy days".

We all need our lazy days. Nothing wrong with that.

No, nothing wrong but it doesn't feel right either.

@suziecat7 I'm retired so I often have days like that and never feel guilty lol. That's the way of retirement. Way wonderful.

I do, after a long work week. I do not like if we have a long weekend and I just end up doing nothing. Now that kind of lazy day is something that I hate.

When you work full time it's tough not to relax on your days off.

I do feel better about myself when I accomplish a lot, but unfortunately those lazy days do come once in a while. I guess it means that we just need a break.

You're probably right - we just need it sometimes.

I've had a lazy day too, but I don't feel guilty at all.

I don't mind the occasional lazy day but I wouldn't want every day to be non-productive.

I don't have many lazy days because I also like to be productive.

Sometimes, it's nice to have a lazy day once in a while. I think we can all use one from time to time.

Once in a while it is good to have a lazy day. It can be the mind and body's way of saying you need a break. You didn't waste a day, you gave yourself a much needed day of rest.

Yeah, lazy days. I've had more than a few. I think we all need one every now and then. I don't feel as guilty now days as I used to.

As of now I need lots of it.. i feel good when I make many accomplishments in a day but right now, i feel so exhausted, seems like I don't have time to rest or even eat... I'm happy that at this very moment I'm here trying to catch up coz I have been working offline for the past couple of weeks..

I work only three days a week at an outside job then I work from home on the off days. I think you sound like you need a rest (or maybe a vacation).

I am the same way, I don't like wasting a day doing nothing. Down days are always good. But I always feel like there needs to be something that needs to be done

Me too - there's always something that needs to be done - shame to waste time.

I go online when I have nothing to do and have been on sites for five years, so no lazy days as such - siva
