Summary
An r/cfs user described using short yoga nidra and body scans, lying in a dark room with gentle music, to relax and do nothing for a while, aiming for about 25 minutes of rest after each hour of activity, though they didn't quite manage it. In a later post they still felt awful and expected to keep feeling that way; repeating "this will pass" and staying in the present helped more than theorising about the future.

i don’t quite achieve this, but i do aim to do a proper “doing nothing” at-lest once a day

“This will pass” is a really annoying phrase, but when i started really trying to internalize it, things shift a bit in my brain
