I know we are all too busy but sometimes you need a break.
I’ve been unwell and spending a lot of mental energy on all the things that I wasn’t getting done. My wonderful husband set up a weekend in a small town on Vancouver Island. Taking a break helped me relax, reflect, and re-focus on what I want to accomplish.
Now, I’m still busy and the task list is growing (seriously, do tasks somehow mate when you aren’t looking?) BUT I’m going to take regular breaks from screens. If I’m on deadline and unable to take the breaks, I’ll look at the photo below and take deep breaths.
Will you join me and take breaks to realize all that you have done? And not focus on what is missing?
What are your ways to find some calm?

That is a good idea, of focussing on what has been done and can be done rather than what hasn’t been done or can’t be done. I prefer listening to music, something like bamboo flute, which helps me in calming my nerves and allows me to focus when I am too busy. However, since I can’t listen to music at workplace I just focus on my breath to calm my nerves. 🙂
