Keep Your Vibes High by Powering Down
First Listed February 18, 2012
Today’s post is my answer to Art Therapist‘s Week-End Reflection. It’s to answer the question “This week I discovered.……”.
This week I discovered how important it is to take time away from the computer. Yesterday I was out most of the day and planned on firing up my computer when I got home. When I got home, a little voice inside said, ‘no’. I hesitated, thinking of all I could do and get done and the two emails I was supposed to send out that day. Again, my body said, ‘no’. Instead of questioning it again, I listened. I kept the computer powered down and enjoyed the high vibrations of nature with my dog Roxy on a nice walk outside.
Do you take time off from your computer? What does powering down do for you?

I came by from Week-end reflection.
Very interesting question because… normally this would be my switch-off weekend and guess what..I’m online! LOL I thought that there would be no internet here at the place where I am staying (small vacation with the family), but it seems there is… it would be more easy though, if not everyone here took their laptops with them… and seeing them, I gave in too haha.
Anyways, I didn’t had the discipline now to take a couple of days as a switch-off but I will sure try it one of these weeks. As you said: if the body says no, I must learn to listen.
Thanks for reminding me!
Have a nice weekend

I have been powering down more this week having said that I wanted to drop by and read your post. It’s easy to get carried away spending time on the computer and forget to take much needed breaks. Now I’m off to go for a winter hike with my snow shoes!
