When is the last time you did something that was fun for you? Something that was not necessarily productive. Something that was not necessarily a “good use of your time”. But something that was merely fun or relaxing. We need down time. We need time to just be. We need time when we are not rushing around with a to-do list a million miles long.

What is relaxing is different for everyone. You may have to experiment to find out what fits for you. Make a list of at least ten things and then do at least one of them every day. Yes, you read that right. Every single day we need to relax.

Naturally, there apps that can help you with this. If you like apps, then seek those out and use them. However, you can do this low tech, as well. A shocking thing these days is when we unplug from our technology. But sometime (often) that is what we need to truly let go and relax.

The bottom-line, is that we all need time to merely be, not to do. This time will recharge us more than you can imagine. It is not a waste of time, but rather a very valuable use of time! Give yourself the gift of relaxing!
