So often, the urge to engage in behaviors that seem “lazy” is a sign that a person has worked hard enough and should just sit and be calm for a little while.

Just as we need to eat and sleep, we need time for goofing off and doing nothing. When we ignore that impulse to recharge for fear of seeming “lazy,” we risk facing dire consequences.
