While I agree with most of the listed items -

  • "Doing nothing is good for my soul"
    It's good to rest once in a while, but you thrive more likely while doing something meaningful rather than lie in bed all day.

.

  • "My worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements"
    While obviously not ALL worth can be found within the work life, one can find lots of meaningful things from their job. It can make one happy and offer many benefits that can help general life as well. And I wouldn't be surprised if one earned some achievements through experience and good mentions on the way if you were passionate!

It doesn’t say “rot in bed”. It’s giving you psyche permission to have a “do nothing” day an not regret it or may yourself feel guilty about it.

Yes, it does not. Still wanted to point it out, just in case 😄
