"Redeeming the Time" and Guilt

Posted by Laura on August 11, 2003 at 17:10:34

4 years after leaving The Family, one of the hardest things for me to learn is that is okay to relax and just enjoy myself or- and this is a biggie- just do nothing at times.

The "redeem the time" teaching has a lot of good, I still think- laziness is of course not a virtue, but on the other hand, has anyone else experienced a nagging sense of guilt for those "nonproductive" moments? I am divorced, have a fulltime job, 4 kids left at home, on the run a lot, and yet still feel guilty if I spend an hour or more not doing anything "productive."
