Generally, daydreaming is looked upon as a negative way to spend time or as being lazy. It looks like we are doing nothing but just sitting there and gazing off into space. However, there are definitely some upsides to daydreaming. It can be quite constructive and help increase creativity as well as productiveness. And for some of us, spending some time daydreaming before making a tough decision can help provide the courage and positive support needed to move forward. There are actually many, positive benefits for useful daydreaming:
Daydreaming is a little like meditating. It is providing a moment when you can let your mind go, take a break and let go of stress, worries and anxiety. Return feeling as if you were on a mini vacation - physically relaxed, mentally refreshed and spiritually rejuvenated.
Next time you find yourself facing a conflict or unpleasant situation you must deal with, try daydreaming or visualize how you would like the situation to be resolved. What outcome would you like to see? Most importantly, visualize how you will be feeling when the desired outcome transpires. This practice can greatly help to respond versus reacting.
Daydreaming can help with productivity. Try this. Next time you have a Saturday "to do list" such as laundry, clean house, get groceries, instead of diving right into your chores and errands, indulge with 15 to 20 minutes of daydreaming. What would it feel like to complete everything on your list by noon? Imagine how you will spend the rest of your day. Who would you like to see? Where would you like to go?
Feeling blocked? Lost your creative flow? Daydreaming can help with creativity. Try stepping back from the project, your work, writing and go for a long walk, get some fresh air or exercise. Sometimes the toughest problems can be solved when you stop focusing on it and allow your mind to purposefully wander. Moments of insight often pop in out of nowhere once we've stopped looking for solutions and answers. Allowing your mind to relax is key and get your body moving through exercise, a walk or take a long scenic drive.
Summertime is the perfect time for daydreaming! Relaxing, napping at the beach on a sunny weekend and enjoying the ocean breeze. Or strolling through a pretty park. Just being in nature can provide the perfect setting to allow your mind to wander and drift off to positive thoughts, creative ideas and making your dreams a reality.
