I can take a day to myself, go for a walk, catch up on reading or TV, but I always end up doing laundry, cleaning house, running an errand or just running my never-ending to-do list or ever-present worries through my head on a loop.

All Summer I’ve said I was going to take some time to just do nothing. TODAY, I finally gave it a shot, and it’s taken me 8-hours to just start to unwind.

Why am I so bad at relaxing and doing nothing?

What is your experience with such things?
