Rich People Are Mindful. Poor People Are Lazy.
Doing nothing is a hot commodity.
This morning, I did nothing.
I didn’t do yoga. I didn’t take a cold shower. I didn’t go over my to-do list or write in my gratitude journal. I just stayed in bed. I pretended I was lying in the back of a deep cave, away from the world.
It was the best I’ve felt in a long time.
It felt great.
They’re acting like we’ve been on vacation.
They’re still doing it.
Our bosses have spent the last year trying to whip us back to the office. Our governors and mayors are making fun of us for wanting to work from home. They’re telling us, “You can’t spend all day in your pajamas.” They’re trying to make us nostalgic over the stuff we hated.
We’ve been through two years of devastating trauma, and they’re acting like we’ve been on vacation.
The life coaches and corporate wellness consultants are back cranking out their productivity listicles. They’re leading the workshops we used to groan about. Our own president is grinning at us and saying, “Aren’t you guys excited about going back to work!?”
