January 27 - Make Time for Down Time


Our daily lives are crammed pack with appointments, activities, errands and our jobs and responsibilities. More often than not we are expected to multi-task and even manage to be in two places at once. The pressure we put on ourselves to over achieve is tremendous.

And it can even be worse for our kids. With school, sports, scouts, church activities, and family responsibilities our kids schedules are insane.

It is so important to step back and take some time off from all of the insanity of the daily grind. Being on the move constantly all day long can take its toll very quickly so it is important to take the time to stop and smell the roses.

Here is some suggestions for some down time activities:
  • Read a book
  • Write a letter to a family member or friend
  • Watch a movie
  • Meditate
  • Sit outside and just take in nature
Whatever you choose to do or do nothing at all, do it often. Down time is a great way to recharge.
