There is a often a negative connotation of the word lazy. A lot of times this word is associated with not getting anything done, lacking drive or being unambitious. While I agree it can mean those things, I think more times than less being lazy can simply mean relaxing. There are so many days where you feel like you have to fit everything in. You have to go to class, workout, do homework and then you need to go to this club or that social event. It can truly be exhausting, and well…draining. I think what people need to know is some days, it’s okay to just be lazy.
I think every once in a while, it’s good to reward yourself with a lazy day. To me, this means not doing any homework and being in comfy clothes all day. Let yourself watch television for hours or read a book that you actually enjoy reading. No need to wear makeup or do your hair; just be as you are. If you don’t feel like going out to get food, order in or heat something up in the microwave. Don’t let yourself stress about anything! You work hard almost every other day of the year, so if you want to sit in bed and watch romantic comedies all day, go for it.
Like I said, this should be something special, so don’t make a habit of it. There are other ways to treat yourself like getting your nails done or going shopping. A lazy day should not only be used to treat yourself, but it should be a day where you have no energy to do stuff like going to a spa or going to the mall. This particular day is one you should use to recharge and get ready to tackle the days ahead.
