Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?
To me, the word “lazy” has a negative connotation attached to it. But why? Aren’t we all entitled to a little lazy time amidst the bustle and hustle this world hands out? I think we are.
Do I feel unproductive? Not usually, no. But I think having hypervigilance plays a contributing factor to my always feeling busy and alert.
How about you? What say you??
Hello,
Welcome to the official blog of Matthew Heneghan — author of A Medic’s Mind and Woven in War, and host of the trauma-focused podcast Unwritten Chapters.
As a former Canadian Armed Forces medic and civilian paramedic, I’ve lived through the raw edges of trauma, addiction, grief, and healing. Through honest storytelling and lived experience, I write and speak about PTSD, trauma recovery, mental health awareness, and resilience — especially from the lens of veterans and first responders.
If you’re searching for real-life stories of overcoming adversity, the effects of service-related trauma, or insight into the recovery process after hitting rock bottom — you’re in the right place. My goal is to foster connection through shared experience, break stigma, and offer hope.
Explore the blog, tune into the podcast, and discover how writing became a lifeline — and might just become yours, too.
