Sometimes we treat doing nothing like a crime. Like we’ve failed somehow if we’re not productive, not checking things off, not improving ourselves every waking second. But here’s the truth: doing nothing isn’t lazy. It’s necessary.

Rest isn't always sleeping or meditating or going on a wellness retreat. Sometimes, it’s lying on the floor and staring at the ceiling. Scrolling without purpose. Sitting in silence with a cup of something warm. Not fixing anything. Not solving your life.

And when you live with depression, even just surviving the day is a full-time job. So if all you did today was breathe, that’s not nothing — that’s enough.

Doing nothing can be an act of quiet rebellion in a world obsessed with hustle. It’s a way of saying: My worth isn’t measured by my output. I’m allowed to exist without constantly performing wellness or productivity.

So today, if you need it — take the pause. Unplug. Un-do. Un-become for a while. You don’t owe anyone your energy, especially when you’re running low.

• You don’t need to fix yourself to be worthy.

• Rest isn’t laziness — it’s an act of self-acceptance.

• Doing nothing can be an art form, especially when you're struggling.

  Always look forward to something- no matter how small.
