I’m Bored. I’m Depressed. I’m Not Being Productive. What Should I Do?
For many people, the idea of not being “productive” at any given moment causes anxiety, guilt or boredom. There is a feeling of unworthiness, or being lesser than one’s best because of watching a favorite show, checking out Facebook, shopping, or any other activity that might be pleasurable. Relaxing, having fun, doing something that gives you pleasure is an important part of life. It rests the brain and does not make you any less worthy than would cleaning the apartment, doing work for your job, or any other job that is tedious. It’s ok to have fun.
