Keep yourself busy if you want to avoid depression. For me, inactivity is the enemy.
I understand why so many Americans are fed up with government. The 112th Congress was almost universally derided as the worst ever. It was the most polarized body since the end of Reconstruction, according to one study, and I grew embarrassed by its partisan bickering, inactivity, and refusal to address the vital challenges facing America.
Rather than viewing a brief relapse back to inactivity as a failure, treat it as a challenge and try to get back on track as soon as possible.
So many older people, they just sit around all day long and they don't get any exercise. Their muscles atrophy, and they lose their strength, their energy and vitality by inactivity.
When you're a boxer, there is a lot of downtime and long periods of inactivity.
Periods of inactivity, I don't know such things. I'm consistently writing. My life is busy. It always is. There are hardly any moments for self-indulgent laziness.
A total abstainer is one who abstains from everything but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the affairs of others.
Passive inactivity, because you have not been given specific instructions to do this or to do that, is a serious deficiency.
Inactivity is death.
