Planning to do nothing

I've really discovered that for this recovery malarkey to work I need to be kept busy, distracted constantly from any destructive thoughts that may lead to relapses or negative behaviours.

I precisely plan what I will be doing when, particularly  after meals. Now I'm not saying this is the cure to anorexia - DISCLAIMER RIGHT THERE - I'm merely saying this tactic seems to aid me. 

A downfall of this is that whenever I haven't planned and am faced with hour upon hour in companionship with the thought in my head, that I'm terrified. This is resulting on me constantly on the go. 
I recently have realised that I do need down time, compulsory to a healthy lifestyle the opportunity to relax, be them far and few, are key to me being able to get up and fight the next battle I am faced with. 

I have developed a strategy of, therefore, planning to do nothing, I make no plans and merely accept the fact that on that day I can lounge and watch movies and aimlessly browse eBay and to be honest after getting over the initial, harrowing, anorexic thoughts of 'do not be so bluddy lazy' I managed to relish in the fact I deserve to be lazy! Why wouldn't I?
