Veg Out. (Monday Moments #31)
Posted On December 28, 2015
She worked hard as a head-hunter. She was always busy with something or the other and was constantly sucked into work. After a long time, she got an extended weekend holiday. She was excited about it. She had decided to visit some places outside the city and enjoy the short trip. But, when the day arrived, she just didn’t want to get out of bed. She began thinking. Why should I always lead a busy life? Why to take this tour which will make me more tiresome? Why shouldn’t I just enjoy this time to relax at home? She was always surrounded with people. She always woke up at 5 and slept late into the night hours. So, she just decided to do the opposite. She decided to stay alone, sleep a lot and just chill. That’s what people do when they have an overwhelming life, right? She just stayed in her bed. She put on the television. The show looked familiar to her. Then she remembered. It was her favourite show, ‘Pretty Little Liars’. She couldn’t even remember the last time she watched it. Being a grown up just changes everything. Priorities change. And you forget about some things which you had loved. She decided to just veg out and watch a marathon of Pretty Little Liars. That feeling was new to her. She never did such a thing. And so it felt marvellously satisfying to just not do anything. At that moment, she was the total opposite of herself but she loved in being so. After a couple of hours, she felt so awesome. Some moments you don’t need therapy. Some moments you just need to veg out!

Hello! I'm Aishwarya, an Introverted bookworm & writer. I have been reviewing books since 6 years on my blog - Mindscape in Words. My favourite genres are Historical Fiction, Mystery, Thrillers, Magical Realism, Poetry, Fantasy & Memoirs. I like the kind of books which evoke emotions on several levels leaving me wrecked, but also incredibly content. I'm dreaming for the world to paint a landscape full of words, more like Mindscape in Words. Hope you enjoy the view.

Agreed! Vegging out is one of my greatest talents lol!!
Yep, just gotta veg out. Stop "adulting" for a few moments! haha!
Love this! I was able to do just that this past week and it was amazing! I 100% agree that as adults we sometimes forget to just relax and enjoy the moments. Thanks for sharing!
Yes! This is so true. Some moments you just need to veg out. I wanted to be really productive last week, but the first few days (amidst running a ton of errands) all I did was relax. This weekend I was super productive! 🙂
Yes!! It's veg out Monday special thanks to these nasty storms hitting the Gulf Coast. Great blog, btw!! ?
Yes,I agree that we all need our time to just sit and veg out. This just helps us regather and recharge our energy.
Ahh I loved this, especially reading it on a Monday morning with so much to do ahead! It's amazing what simply sitting and vegging out can do for the soul and the body. Thank you for the reminder!
Vegging out is my favorite. I wish I could make a career of it because I'd sure be good at it 😉
Being a grown up definitely sucks the life out of you! But, sometimes it helps to sit back, relax, and do what YOU want to do!

So true! You really do just need a break some times. For me it's often cancelled plans, but I really appreciate the chance to relax.
