Gosh I felt this. I have lately felt so much guilt enjoying “nonproductive” activities such as reading, watching tv, and playing video games, even though I enjoy them after my kids have gone to bed, after my school work is finished (I currently have a M.Div and Bachelor of Arts Degree, currently pursuing my BSN), after my work is finished (I work in hospice), and when I have spent time doing my devotions. I hate that it feels like such a trap. That I can’t unwind. That I feel guilt for just relaxing because I feel the need to “produce” or “be more”, even though I’m just slowly burning out. Idk. I’m learning to just live in the moment and let myself rest when I need rest, setting aside all of the internet gurus and motivation books that push nonstop productivity and busyness hustle culture. But it’s a tough thing to unlearn.
I am so glad that I found you. Your choice of books and interpretations really suits my interests and thoughts. For a young person looking for philosophy and perspective, this is gold :)
