Being idle leads to misery. The first weeks or months may be fine, especially if you have been continuously working for a long time, but don't confuse idleness with rest.

Rest is when you do something to recharge. You shift your focus momentarily to allow your body and mind to have less strain. To relax and rejuvenate.

People find beaches, safaris, camping and the outdoors relaxing. It allows the mind to reduce all the constant stimulations of urban environments.
The reason journaling is so highly recommended is that it declutters the mind and gives it breathing room.

Idleness is when you do nothing but consume. There is no output or outlet. You are just ingesting things into your mind and body.

Your mind works better when it is processing the information it receives, not just storing it. Especially when the information isn't valuable.

I believe that human beings were designed to work. To actually have a function and an output. I used to think that a day full of nothing but food and entertainment would be heaven, but it gets old quickly.

The people on the top of the Forbes list don't stop working when they get there. They keep working. Doing new things. Money is a good goal to have, but only meaningful work will bring fulfilment. The work has to be meaningful to you as well as the one receiving it.

Your work isn't the same thing as your job. What fulfils you is your work. What enables you to survive is your job. Combining the two is the goal of life. Find something that sustains you financially and fulfils you emotionally.
