Time Perception While Recovering from Illness

This week, I fell ill for the first time in a while and had to take two days off work. It was the first time I had been forced to stay indoors since the COVID isolation period. However, unlike during isolation, being stuck at home this time didn't feel board at all. The time flew by quickly. It felt incredibly liberating not to be tied down by a sense of time. Immersing myself in something without worrying about time was quite pleasant. I didn't feel the usual pressure to conform to a schedule. Instead, I was able to switch off unnecessary thoughts and engage in projects that sparked joy in my daily life. It reminded me not to make excuses for myself.
