Everyone needs downtime, rest, and recuperation from time to time. After a hard day’s work, you probably want to relax and unwind. After strenuous physical activity, you may need to recuperate. After a period of stress or anxiety, you may seek out long-term rest. Such downtime offers an appropriate counter-balance to hard work or challenge.
Sometimes downtime can even be a productive and valuable use of time. Space to think, clear your mind, calm your heart, and leave room for inspiration and serendipity may very well be the best way to spend your time.
