Daydreaming: Good for Relaxation

27 October 2009 2 Comments

I daydream a lot. In fact, I use daydreaming as a means of escape when I need one. We all do it, or at least most of us do. So why is it looked upon negatively? According to this Web MD Article, daydreaming gets a bad rap in our society BUT there are some benefits.

Daydreaming is looked upon negatively because it represents ‘non-doing’ in a society that emphasizes productivity,” says John McGrail, a clinical hypnotherapist in Los Angeles. “We are under constant pressure to do, achieve, produce, and succeed.”

But daydreaming can actually be beneficial and help boost your productivity. It’s simple, cost effective and a way to make you feel happier and calmer faster.

If you are a day dreamer, continue to do so.

Here are some ways it helps you.

• Relax
• Manage conflict
• Maintain relationships
• Boost productivity
• Cement values and beliefs
• Boost creativity and achieve goals
• Relieve boredom

So when was the last time you daydreamed?

    Daydreamers now have validation!

    There are days when I just sit on our porch and daydream about so many things.

    Hugs and Mocha,
