So many midlife women think that knowing how to prioritize downtime in midlife is important but don’t actually do it. In fact, there’s a lot of resistance toward downtime as a concept.
Downtime is one of those topics where there’s a big disconnect between what is generally accepted intellectually as something that’s desirable AND what actually happens in reality. There are several reasons for this.
It’s common for midlife women to combine their thoughts about productivity with downtime. And it’s also common to come up with excuses about why it’s too difficult to make downtime happen in your life. Having downtime can sometimes feel indulgent. So many of Women in the Middle aren’t used to making downtime a priority.
As with so many things in life, the barrier to getting what you want is your thinking.
The important reasons for having downtime are discussed. In addition, five simple steps to make downtime a part of your reality are reviewed. Prioritizing downtime will absolutely help you thrive in midlife!
