Idle mind is the Devils…

If you ask me, being Idle with nothing to do is the gateway to developing mental issues, bad habits and bad days.

A Stale and stagnant Pond will become dirty and poisonous. It needs to flow and circulate.

Similarly, a stale and stagnant mind will form blockages and molds in it that could make it bitter and useless.

We are meant to move, both in the way we think and the things we do.

Being idle for long periods of time without a direction or a project to work on will make you dull. (and I know that for a fact)

Pick something up. Clean your room, walk, talk, write, workout, socialize, learn, meet people.

Because the negatives of being idle is worse than working for or on yourself at all times.

1. Mental health: Being idle for a long time can make you feel worthless, depressed, and anxious.

2. Bad habits: An idle mind will often look for stimulation through unhealthy ways, leading to addictive behaviors and harmful habits.

3. Wasted Opportunities: The Fire you have inside you would be vanished if you continue to stay idle causing you to not grow as a person and making you miss potential opportunities for growth.

4. Negative thought patterns: The mind will dwell on negative thoughts and memories, making you pessimistic.

These illustrate why an idle mind is "the devil's workshop," as it can lead to a lot of bad outcomes for one's mental, emotional, and personal well-being.

I’m not saying not to take a break.

But if a break is all that you take, then maybe you should reconsider the way you’re Living.
