<p>I was talking to someone I coached about 5 years ago the other day, and she reminded me of something I&#8217;d asked her to do &#8211; get comfortable with, and allow herself to be, lazy.  Like so many other things, laziness gets such a bad rap that many of us will work ourselves into an early grave just to avoid being branded &#8216;lazy&#8217;.  But laziness has its place&#8230;and if you are more type &#8216;A&#8217; than type &#8216;zzzzzzzzzz&#8217;, maybe this is something you could try out over Easter.</p>
<p>I love a bit of lazing about.  I love to relax.  I love to be on holiday with nothing to do but walk by the sea, read, eat and enjoy myself.  I like to enjoy my life&#8230;and if that makes me &#8216;lazy&#8217;, so be it.  Am I really &#8216;lazy&#8217;?  Well, given half a chance, yes.  But the rest of the time, I work hard so I think a bit of laziness can be forgiven.  Because there is a lovely balance between laziness and busyness, and a person needs both in their life to be happy.</p>
<p>Think about it &#8211; you&#8217;ve ticked a thousand things off your to do list &#8211; are you satisfied?  Oh no, there&#8217;s another thousand things to do.  Bah.  Time for laziness.  Get comfortable with, and allow yourself to be, lazy.  Laze around, relax, chill out, don&#8217;t do something off your to do list (I can hear your collective gasps of horror!), just enjoy a moment of ease.  This easter, give laziness a go.  And let me know how you do!</p>
<p>Love</p>

PS Happy Easter!  May the Easter bunny satisfy your every chocolatey dream!  xxx

On TED I found this talk from Carl Honore, the author of &#8220;In Praise of Slow&#8221; &#8211; one of my favourite books.  If you are living life in the fast lane and finding it&#8217;s not as much fun as it used to be, watch this video!

Time’s might be tough, there may be lots of things to worry about and fret about, but how does that fretfulness help you to survive the tough times? It doesn’t…it makes it even worse. Remember always that you are a resourceful, wonderful human being and you can cope with whatever life throws at you. And [...]]]></description>
