135. Just Having A Day

Getting Old Quickly

In Episode 135, Billy Donnelly is just having a day: just one where you sleep in late, are entirely unmotivated to do anything, wind up accomplishing nothing and watch the day pretty much pass you by. However, he discusses why it's okay to be in those days when you find yourself lacking energy or effort, and how it took him a while to get to that place. He talks about the pressures that society can put on you to have to do more and be more, constantly striving to get further toward "goals" and the negative stigma ("lazy") that accompanies other people's judgments of not constantly pressing forward. However, he talks about the importance of giving yourself a rest or a pause, per se, allowing you to pick things back up that aren't really a major priority later down the road refreshed and ready as opposed to forcing the issue when you're not in the space for it. He also discusses the death of Jason David Frank and the importance of asking for help when you're not in a good place mentally.
