Try not to think about pink elephants for 10 seconds.
If you did then then the hippos get 5 apples.

I consider being on the forum, doing nothing. No offence.
Just it’s what I do because I have no motivation to read and play keyboard etc.

You need to be qualified doing nothing, its not everyones cup of tea. Can’t believe the article explains how to do nothing

Think of it as cancel culture.
You are living in the city with people who have culture. Then suddenly youve become diffrent from the culture people. You start to stay indoors all day because you dont enjoy what the culture people are doing. Then after a year later you look outside and the culture people are having different culture.
So your basically you dont have any smart phones but the culture people does.

In the first you were to live the current generation.
Then get into jail for many years.
Then you come out and your symptoms improve.

Sun baking is doing nothing in a way.
I sun baked for fifteen minutes today to get some healthy sun.
I can’t sun bake too long i don’t reckon.
Doing little is good for me.
I’m more stable I think since I got on the pension n it made me better than stress if trying to work etc.
Thankfully I’m able to do little and I’m proud of the stuff k do do anc ability I do have.

I believe it. I know it works for me, helps me quiet down. I worked too much in the past, ignoring my illness and now I am in a absolute mess as it worsened my psychosis. Taking your time is good, life will go on even without me.

To be able to rest should be doable for everybody… Me, i am the kind of sz who cant never relax in his head… I also saw many sz people as us in my hospitals, who couldnt even sit, just pacing around etc… So this is hell in a way…
I am lately obsessed to change my sedentary, but i cant enjoy now just sitting peacefully on my couch, which isnt normal either…
One friend of mine read somewhere, that the laziness is very needed in life lol… He also says to me to try to meditate, while being with no thoughts at all, to reconnect to my body too lol… My mind is often cycling, its not good…
So i can believe a bit this article, yeap 
Plus my pdoc told me honestly, that its not laziness that we have, but negative symptoms, executive functions going dead… He said, that its the healthy people who can be lazy, we are in suffering just i guess …
Take care all!

Bertrand Russell came to a similar conclusion a long time ago. He is one of my favourite philosophers.
