Texts, emails, video calls, meetings, appointments, driving here and there. in our nano-paced mega-world, it’s hard to find real downtime when you’re unplugged from your cares and responsibilities both literally and mentally.
But it’s essential, not just for your mind and body but also for your soul. We need time away from all the usual demands and distractions so we can simply still ourselves before our Higher Power and quiet the chatter in our minds.
One of the best ways to ensure we get the rest we need is to schedule it. Just like any other appointment, we often need to pencil in time to do nothing! When we carve out the time and space to rest, our Higher Power refreshes us and renews our energy for the tasks to be done later.
Yes yes! I have been making it a point to shut off my phone more, especially when I know I plan on staying in and don’t have to be anywhere.

That’s awesome. What do you do to plug into your Higher Power?

I pray, meditate, go outside, write, do yoga or anything that gets me in my body and in-tune with what is going on. Focusing more on looking inward for guidance lately. What about you?

I need to get back to meditation, I really was benefiting from it. I love to blog, of course. I listen to my playlists. I just started taking guitar lessons–holy cow it’s hard to put my fingers on some of those cords and they are sore today. I do love anything in nature as well. I also like to workout, which I haven’t done much of in the last 3 weeks because I’ve had this nasty cold.
