“freedom provided by cessation of activities”
Today’s MotD inspires us to embrace leisure time…even if only for a minute at a time—just stop.
Leisure is challenging for me. I grew up hearing this a lot: “if you don’t have anything to do, I’ll give you something to do”—it was all about doing. Being busy? good. Not being busy? bad.
Even now, decades later, I still feel guilty about not doing anything…and with it comes anxiety…which is now starting to adversely affecting my health. Today’s MotD reminds me to enjoy the freedom that comes from the cessation of activities.
How about you? Is leisure a core value for you?
btw…here’s what it looked like before:

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day
Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.
