Hisbodidus, connecting to Hashem personally, is חיים (Chayim), life. Chayim indicates something that is continual. A flowing spring is referred to as מים חיים, living waters. A person needs to connect to Hashem on a frequent and regular basis. It is not only for when someone is feeling good or on a spiritual high, or for others when they are down and desperate. It needs to be there all the time.
This is similar to a marriage. A married person is not meant to come home only when he happens to feel like it or when he has no other place to go. Someone who operates that way has no understanding of what marriage is. Rather it is constant, day in, day out. Night in, night out. It is where a person belongs, no matter what else is going on in his or her life.
