Some of us need a lot more “downtime” to function than others.
What exactly is downtime? Downtime is time where you have nothing scheduled to do. It is consciously blocked out periods of your day where you have time to spend doing whatever you feel like doing.
This won’t be a time for exercise or chores, however, if you are so inclined to do these things over your downtime, so be it. What’s most important is that you are allowing yourself to “go with the flow;” to be spontaneous, and to act on whatever instincts arise in the moment.
Why incorporate downtime into your day? Because it is only through scheduled downtime that you can purposely align yourself to receive insights and ideas that spark your creative juices and allow your intuition to flow. Downtime is really the most productive time of your day. For it is here you allow yourself to “just be.” It is here you are unencumbered by the lower vibrations of 3D consciousness that feel draining and self-defeating. And it is here you can receive higher frequencies of 5D consciousness and effortlessly enter states of expanded bliss.
You need scheduled downtime in order to feel your Highest Self expressing through you. Otherwise, you will continually block that space for it to come through. You’ll fill up your time with other activities and your mind will be preoccupied with them.
It is important to schedule your downtime during a time when you will not be interrupted by anyone or anything. When you regularly schedule downtime into your day-to-day routine, you slowly start to get more in touch with you. The you that’s been neglected, the you that’s been forgotten, and the you that’s been dying to be heard.
How do you know if you are someone who needs more downtime? Because you will notice that you become overstimulated and overwhelmed very easily around others. You will require more days off from work and more time alone in silence. You will become irritable and depressed if you do not have enough time to yourself. And most of all, you will lose your sense of creativity.
Take the time to honor yourself today by scheduling downtime into your routine. Your Higher Self will thank you as you align with the highest vibrations which can only bring you more of the joyful energy you have cultivated within.
