Creating White Space in Your Life

Thanks for sharing this beautiful reminder, Dr. Paula McDonald. I love how you emphasize that carving out white space is a gift we give ourselves—it's essential for reconnecting and recharging. 🌿✨

We’re always on the go, always trying to stay busy. This is a great reminder to be more intentional with my time. Thanks for sharing it.

years ago, most of us followed these principles and we have gotten away from them,,,so this was a fantastic reminder to refocus!!

There’s so much that can be done with white space you can add a little breather or you can always add to it later.. 

Good evening Paula,

Love this! Cherise was smart to create white space to give one a breather. You are right life is chaotic and we often need to take a break from the frenzied pace!

Paula- I call it my ME time but yes, I have to have my White Space.  I've noticed that if my schedule does not allow for my morning walks, I'm out of whack. Trust me, when I can, I never schedule anything that interferes with my walk. 

I am with Kathy Streib as I call it "me" time.

I cherish my time alone when I dedicate most of my nights to writing and reading.

Hello Paula - clutter of many kinds seems to have the power to confuse me.  Perhaps, overwhelmingly.  

White space sounds wonderful and I agree with Cherise Selley, I want to be there too, haha.  I have not seen Cherise in the Rain, but I am now following her.

This is non-negotiable for me, Dr. Paula McDonald 

It is a must. I will add that removing toxic, negative, self-imposed victims from my life creates a lot of white space. A great way to restore inner peace is to stop the energy vampires who drain us.  

Great post.  Thanks for sharin

Paula - my "White Space" is when I pray.

I block it in my schedule.  Everyone knows the blue block is non-negotiable. 

This is a great post.  Thanks for sharing

Hi Paula:

I love this post and all that you said about the importance of allowing ourselves some white space. Sometimes we let life take over rather than taking some control when we can and making sure we have the time we need to refresh ourselves, rejuvenate and spend time with those we care about.

I never gave it a name, but there are times when I just need to do this.  Thank you for giving it a name.  I think like Kathy and others, I called it me time.  Sometimes you just have to, or it will drain you completely.

White Space seems like a good idea.

My days are often so full.

I like to balance the time spent working on my  business with a few days in a beachside resort or trip to wine country.

I tend to do this naturally, I know the work I need to get done and when it is finished, I might take some time for myself.

Paula,  This post gives us lots to think about.  Thanks so much

White space in marketing helps make content easier to read and more visually appealing, less crowded. Daily we learn how to unclutter our lives and create "breathing room" space. Where is your happy place? Outdoors hiking, biking, skiing, on or in the water, digging in the dirt farming keeps me balanced. Find your place in the sun Dr. Paula McDonald. Dr of what?
