8 reasons to why it’s important to take a day off (and be offline)

I love my Maria-days as I call them, I’ve had them for as long as I can remember and I highly recommend having them.

Here’s a few of the benefits we get from having “dates with ourselves”:

1.) You give your brain a break so it can sort things out, connect the dots and put things together and in place.

2.) You clear your mind, get new fresh perspective and gain invaluable insights.

3.) You give your mind space to wander so that creativity can flow freely and inspiration spark anew.

(*Note: Write down your creative ideas but don’t act on them on your day off. Your day off is a day off and work should be put on hold).

4.) A day off gives you time to process stuff, reflect and re-evaluate previous actions and things you’ve done and experienced.

5.) You get to really connect with yourself! To slow down and relax is highly productive in the long run.

We need to always stay in touch with ourselves and to have a whole day now and then all to ourselves is worth more than any action you can take.

6.) You get to hone in on your intuition, to really listen deeply within, to ask for guidance and get back on track in areas where you might have drifted a bit.

Time alone gives us the opportunity to get back in alignment, to get our priorities right and re-focus/get new focus.

7.) Having a day off (and offline) helps us recharge, refuel and get clear perception.

8.) Solitude helps us reclaim our power; it’s so important to be alone and shut out the world and any outside influences now and then!

So what do you do on days like this? What do you actually do?

The whole day should be about you connecting with yourself, or the universe/god or whatever you prefer to call it.

It’s about connecting, so what I do is that I meditate, I write in my journal, ..

.. Walk in nature, listen to music, do yoga, review the work I’ve done (since there’s a natural completion of things in each cycle of creation) and see (and ask within) if there’s anything that needs to be edited, done differently etc etc.

And again;

No work is to be done on this day!

I write down any new ideas that comes to me, what I’m guided to change or redo etc but the actual work is then done the day after and onwards.

The day off is sacred.

That means literally no work, even if the mind wants to jump into doing and taking action (as it wants to).

It’s also beneficial to resist the urge to “do” because the brain and mind gets to ‘sleep on it’ and put even more things in place for you while you sleep.

So let everything go when it comes to work and taking action.

Spend the whole time that you have decided on (I recommend a whole day or more) being alone; with no internet and away from other people.

Have a day where you just relax and enjoy being with yourself.

And in the evening when you have completed your day (when you feel ‘done’) then watch a feel-good movie (and not an educational movie where you feed your brain with information) and eat something delicious and healthy.

Doing these things for yourself is crucial. I could not function properly if I didn’t have my Maria-days now and then.

It’s really about setting yourself up for success going forward.

Relax, let go, enjoy.
Take a day off and relax, let go, and enjoy.

I’ve never had a conversation like that before

I just wanted to say thank you so much again for our session yesterday, I’ve never had a conversation like that before and it was truly amazing. I could feel weight lifted as we were talking and for the first time my mind did not try to make sense of things, it was all truly felt in the heart space.

Something happened within me that I cannot explain

After our session, something happened within me that I cannot explain nor would it even make sense to anyone. There was a part of me that felt my being been taken over by a real peacefulness that I’ve never encountered before. Sounds odd but it’s the truth.

– A.

I have clicked into place with myself

Completely transformed my understanding

Maria guided me to realize that relying solely on my mind (like LOA teaches) wouldn’t lead to the changes I wanted. A profound shift took place within me which completely transformed my understanding and my perspective on life. I am eternally grateful to Maria. 

— Carrie, USA

More transformational than any other thing that I’ve tried

I highly recommend Maria! I don’t even recognize the person who started working with her a few months ago. Maria clearly sees what is blocking, stopping or limiting you. Working with her has been more transformational than any other thing that I’ve tried. Thank you Maria!

Britt, Marbella, Spain

I have never felt more aligned to my true self

Maria’s awareness of energies and the conditions of the mind are truly impressive. She knows exactly what’s going on. She is so attuned to other peoples’ energy that she just knows where you’re at. After working with her I have never felt more alive and aligned to my true self.

Andrew B, San Diego, CA, USA

Serendipity led me to Maria

Serendipity led me to a life-changing session with Maria. The insights about life and myself that I gained during our session were incredibly liberating and empowering. Her clear and practical guidance helped me create a life that is in alignment with me and what I want. Working with Maria truly felt like divine intervention in my life!

I had a complete turnaround to my situation

I had a complete turnaround to my situation so many thanks for helping me transform something I had lost hope about. It’s a miracle and the outcome could not have turned out better! If you want to see a real shift not just psychological but spiritual shift, then Maria is the lady to see. I am so glad I found you!

– Sophie P

My life has radically changed

I finally know my worth. I feel so different now, I feel lighter, happier and more self confident. I treasure the time I spend talking with Maria and look forward to my sessions with her. There has been big changes in my life, synchronicities showing up like magic and I’m constantly blown away at the business and opportunities that I’m attracting. My life has radically changed for the better after I met Maria.

It was more than I could ever hoped for or expected

I feel like a huge weight have been lifted and I have so much more perspective on what I have been struggling with!

Could not more highly recommend

Maria is the real deal. You will sense it the moment you lay eyes on her. She offered much, much more than I’ve derived from other teachers; highly specific and personal recommendations. It is as though I got a crash graduate course from spirit. Could not more highly recommend!

Catherine Rondeau, Westport, Connecticut, USA

The feeling of peace and freedom is priceless

This feeling of peace and freedom is priceless. Maria is beyond amazing. Had I not experienced it myself, I would probably not believe it. I recommend anyone who is trying hard to be truly free and really start walking down the path of self fulfillment and happiness to book a session with her.

My life has changed dramatically

Maria’s teachings and my session with her has transformed my life and allowed me to live in a state of flow and beautiful synchronicity. Maria, your impact on me is immeasurable, and I will forever be grateful.

— Maya
