Switch Off Sunday: Because you’re worth it
Posted by Goddess Leonie on January 10th, 2010. Filed under: Switch Off Sunday.

Hola gorgeous Goddess!
Hurrah! It’s that beautiful day of the week again… that ritual of making all or part of my Sunday switched off… logging off my ‘puter and doing some of those things I really wanna do… and just adoring my beautiful goddess life.
Why do I make it a ritual? Because… all of us know it would be better to take time off from being online… but as the days roll by, we forget to do it. By making it a weekly ritual, it becomes part of our gorgeous routine… and becomes integrated into our luscious life.
You can join me by taking off the whole day, the morning, the afternoon or just a couple of hours off from being online. Write down now how long is the perfect time for you to “Switch Off”.
Facebook, Google Reader, Twitter, blogs and your inbox will all be there tomorrow waiting for you. But Switch off Sundays are for beautiful recharging
Here’s my plans for my Switch Off Sunday…
Today, I’m not taking the whole day off. Just a couple of hours – because that’s what feels right for me. That’s what feels comfortable & do-able & true… and that’s the important thing.
And I’m not making big goals for me today… just intentions for my day.
Replenishment. Restoration.
Warding off burn-out.
Staying cool from our hot summery day.
Feeling rejuvenated.
This might end up looking like watching a movie. Maybe reading. Maybe just kind of… being, instead of doing.
I’m not sure yet.
I just want to feel good from it.

Some glorious things you can do this Switch off Sunday:
- Create your gorgeous goddess goals for 2010!
(Tea Priestess‘ photo of her Goddess Workbook goals) - Give yourself what you need:
Is it rest?
Silence?
Connection?
Laughter?
Creativity?
Cave Time? - Pimp your pinboard!

- Go for a walk or take a meditation-nap with your iPod playing some meditations
- Journal like a hot journalling goddess
- What’s that thing you’ve been meaning to do for ages now?

It’s time!
Time to switch off… and soak in this shiny, shiny day. What glorious things can you make/see/play/do today?
Get out a pen and paper… write them down… dream and play!
love you shiny sweetness!

P.S. Just *SEVEN* days until Term 2 of Goddess School begins!

Checking in now I’ve completed my Switch Off… I ended up reading for a little bit (“The Wee Free Men” teen fiction novel by Terry Pratchett & Jennifer Louden’s “The Pregnant Women’s Comfort Book” – YAY! for second hand bookstore shopping yesterday!)
Then a meditation-nap listening to Calmbirth meditations which ended up turning into a 1.5 hour nap. (I heart me some meditation-naps. I wouldn’t nap if I didn’t have a meditation beforehand to waft off too!)
Then some Wii Sims playing… the perfect way to recharge & relax…
WAHOOOOO for Switch Off Sundays!!!
Hope you all have such a beautiful one….

I discovered your work just yesterday.. through Kelly Roberts.. I am adoring you to read.
This Sunday this a very hard cold.. more or less 3 degrees.. and I want the afternoon to pass heated up in the blankets with my cat to read your blog to know more of you and of your beautiful work.

I downloaded the guide book a few days ago and I want to share my experiances in my blog. The issue is that I have no idea how to put the button up. So if you wouldn’t mind too much, could you please send me an e-mail telling me how to do that? That would be amazing. Here is a link to my blog

Thanks!
Have a blessed day.
