Now I know that the idea of scheduling a spontaneity break sounds like a contradiction in terms, but when you consider how our society lives and thrives by the clock, it makes sense.  Too often we fall into the trap of believing that life will become easier and more meaningful when we get really good at living and acting efficiently.  But schedules, clocks, and well-planned time can squash our creative spirit–the part of us that thrives on spontaneous, open-ended time.

As creative beings, we all need periods of time to live spontaneously without commitments or distractions.  By creating the space to live in the moment, we strengthen the connection to our inner wisdom and give ourselves a much-needed rest from the routine of day-to-day living.

Take an afternoon or evening and give yourself the gift of time free from appointments or obligations.  Do whatever comes to mind in the moment.
