Sometimes it\u2019s hard to relax. We’ve gotten so used to going a million miles an hour, maximizing every second, that it can feel counter-intuitive to enjoy the luxury of doing nothing at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leisure is a huge component of the lake lifestyle, which offers peace and tranquility. The desire to escape the frantic, demanding nature of modern life is the main reason so many flock to the lake<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, in this rapidly moving world, many underestimate the importance of a little R&R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a deliberate effort to relax is a mental health necessity in this culture of productivity and efficiency. Maintaining boundaries between work life and downtime has proven benefits for productivity, wellness, and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is measurable value in leisure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Leisure Good for You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s look at what leisure is not<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deliberate rest is not mindlessly scrolling through Facebook or watching television like a zombie for hours, nor is it sleeping the day away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leisure is less about wasting time, and more about the quality of time spent doing something you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s about detaching from work, rejecting busyness, and instead, losing yourself in the flow and letting your mind wander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humans love to daydream. A study conducted by two Harvard psychologists showed that people let their minds wander 47 percent of the time they\u2019re awake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While often regarded as proof of laziness, or a waste of time, daydreaming is seen as an important cognitive tool by psychologists and neuroscientists. When we rest, our brains enter into Default Mode Network, or D.M.N.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D.M.N. is highly active and directly correlates with empathy, emotional judgment, intelligence, and overall mental health. Wandering minds tend to be better at generating new ideas. Similarly, night dreaming, or R.E.M. sleep also helps cultivate creative insight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no surprise that the most creative people have been shown to possess a more strongly developed D.M.N.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA daydream,\u201d notes columnist Jonah Lehrer in The New Yorker<\/em>, \u201cis just a means of eavesdropping on those novel thoughts generated by the unconscious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, sufficient mental rest is crucial for health, development, and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reclaim Your Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems like every hour of every day, everyone <\/em>is vying for a bit of your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kids, your parents, your clients, and your boss are always calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advertisements and marketing techniques bombard you on television, the internet, and the radio. News alerts, text messages, emails, and social media notifications are popping up on your phone from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to research<\/a>, 44 percent of people say they sleep next to their phone and 67 percent say they check their phones even when there\u2019s been no notification. It’s safe to say that every now and then, it’s a good idea to take time to unplug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if it\u2019s just for 20 minutes a day, turning your phone off and disconnecting from the world for a while can have profound benefits on your health. Freedom from news alerts alone can greatly reduce the stress and anxiety that typically accompany knowledge of world events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reclaim your time. This is a great way of reminding ourselves that the hours in our day belong to us, and no one else is entitled to them. You could use this time for contemplative solitude or indulging in a creative activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leveraging Your Downtime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1948, an innovative company called 3M developed a program known as 15 percent time<\/a>. This program allows employees to use 15 percent of their paid time at work to \u201cchase rainbows and hatch their own ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thought was that, when allowed to let their minds wander and follow creative instincts, employees were better able to come up with products and innovation that benefited the company. It worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15 percent time eventually gave way to many of the company\u2019s best-selling products, like Post-It notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One major company to adopt the concept was Google, with a slightly altered version they called 20 percent time. This break for innovation and creativity gave way to some of Google\u2019s most successful applications, like Gmail, AdSense and Google Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leisure doesn\u2019t necessarily mean impractical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a job to pay the bills while leveraging your off-time to pursue creative instincts could give rise to great things. Known as a \u201cjourney of duality,\u201d artistic ventures outside of your day job can be seen as \u201cside hustles for the soul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the most famous artists in history\u2014Franz Kafka, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Ives\u2014held mundane day jobs like insurance agents and janitors while they worked on masterpieces in their off-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a way to self-identify outside of work also helps to improve the way you think about yourself and the world around you. \u201cI\u2019m not just a schoolteacher, I\u2019m also a painter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more the world speeds up, the more it’s necessary for us to slow down. Stick your feet in the water and watch the sun set. Curl up with a good book or experiment with a new dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find a way to enjoy your spare time. Simply put, hobbies and deliberate rest lead to a healthier, happier life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
