I go crazy when I do nothing for extended periods of time. It can wear very thin. Very often, life is just the opposite, I do not have the time to just do nothing, and nothing can be therapeutic.
Can you relate?
Back in the “old” days being hyper active all the time, meetings, social engagements, work, etc. was a way to escape real life. I left no time to deepen my self- perception.
Most people I know have had a successful life. For me, I have not accomplished every goal I’ve set, but I am satisfied with what I have accomplished thus far in my life. Are you the same?
I have come to realize that there was a “divine plan” at work in my life, and things, good and bad, happened for a reason. My higher power has always trusted me with the gift of free will. I have not always used the gift wisely.
For a thousand reasons there are many running around constantly, never giving themselves the gift of a “time out” from life. They are trapped. And I’m always conscious that there are 1 out of 10 people out there trapped in an addiction. Actively addicted people cannot stand to look inside themselves, and when alone, feel very lonely.
Can anyone relate?
Life balance is extremely important. Taking time for you and giving yourself praise and healthy rewards is a part of good daily living. In my past, I had totally neglected this, and paid the price. To say I was tired, irritable and discontent would have been very true, and I did become sick and tired of being sick and tired. I knew what I did and what roles I was supposed to play; I had no idea of who I was inside. I became spiritually bankrupt.
Life today is more hectic than ever. Life/work balance for many is tilt, and feeling “purpose” to life is diminishing. Technology, which was supposed to make our lives easier, has made living more complex and created "24/7" people. Years ago, I had no idea what "24/7" meant.
Not good, no one is that important.
Are you searching for life balance? Do you know what it feels like? Is your spiritual life totally on the back burner? Is self-esteem slipping?
And back to the question, “Do You Do Nothing Enough?’ And if not, why not?
Think this over and share!!
