The Importance of Downtime

 Life just seems to be busy sometimes and I am not even in paid work at present having chosen to take some time away. Somehow the lives of my family are all consuming of my time and while I love being able to do all the things the kids need and support them and my husband as best i can, it is important to keep my batter charged too. Downtime is important for this.

I found this little tool tucked away in my drawer today that I decided should be used. i got it for nothing several years ago when there was a big push for mental wellbeing in our city following devastating earthquakes 10 years ago. I saw the giveaway advertised on the back of a toliet door in the mall and headed straight over to pick one up - who doesn't like free stuff? I never used it though.

It is basically a type of dice that you roll to give you a suggestion for something you can do for your downtime. Anything from exercise to reading, to going digital free to catching up with friends. Check out the website below for ideas and you can virtually roll the dice for ideas of things to try if you are needing some motivation and ideas for something new to do for you downtime. Have a go!
