if I sleep in till 9am on a Saturday that's relaxation, but if I sleep in till after noon that's lazyness :o
(Just an example, doesn't have to be this one)

Where do you draw the line?

I think when you abandon all effort at learning or when procrastination becomes a form of relaxation you can qualify for a black belt in laziness.

Anything relaxation taken to excess could be considered too much. I draw the line when I find my wife doing all the work and I'm still napping. She would not let me know that. She's just that way, but I'm sure there are times when she's thinking some words I can't name you. I, in all sincerity, try not to beat myself up over 9 or 10 hours sleep. Anything after that I usually consider excess.

In our moments of relaxation, when we slip into ennui, we stop being alert to the flow of life that is when we get bored.



Boredom is a clear sign of laziness towards our inner guidance, as it means that we have not been alert enough to catch the guidance, or eager enough to follow up on it.



The flow is always sending us inspiring ideas to make us feel joyous all the time, so when relaxation stops being joyous , you should know you have missed to boat, and its time get up and get ready!



There is a moment in our sleep where when you wake up once, we will feel joyous and refreshed, but beyond that if you go to sleep again, you'd wake up from sleep all groggy, as you would have overslept, and you'd have to sleep all over again, to sleep over, or get over that grogginess.



So wake up when feel refreshed, forget the clock, as it is bad idea to control your sleep, and unhealthy too, as your body knows exactly how much sleep it needs each night, let it.

Draw the line? Goodness no. Idling is an art that needs to be developed by more people, not less.



There's nothing wrong with doing nothing, unless you don't appreciate the freedom you are experiencing. That's the only 'sin'.

Relaxation becomes laziness at the point in which your relaxation time interferes with other activities that are important or necessary to do.

I think it has a lot to do with your honest feelings; if you indulge because you shut the world out it's one thing, if you just need time for yourself , it's something else.

Lazyness I think, has a lot to do with not dealing with some problems or not willing to see them, unless you want and decide to be lazy.

If you stayed out till 6 am partying hard then sleeping in 'til 12 is called 'early'.

the point at which your body no longer needs the relaxation and rest. It's need. Beyond that is idleness.
