This Week's Topic: Take a Break!
Dear Friend, As I write to you, I’ve left
open a window and my ears are filled with the sounds of the summer
breeze and of robins and doves that chirp and flutter from tree limb to
tree limb outside my window. Nature is truly divine and there is
something about the sounds of nature that bring calm and relaxation.
I’ve been on vacation for a week and a half, but I didn’t spend any
time on an airplane or in a hotel. Instead, I spent 9 days at home,
enjoying the outdoors, and days with no agenda. After a week of
gardening, sleeping in, boating and midday naps, I feel relaxed and
rejuvenated. This week, I want to gently remind you to take a break – and to make sure that nature is a part of your respite. What
do you need a break from? Perhaps it’s work, or a problem you’ve been
working hard to figure out. Maybe it’s just the daily grind. Whatever
your case, this week, make time for a brief break – then schedule a
longer break in the near future. Here are a few ideas:
- Take breaks at work and go outside for a breath of fresh air.
- Take a walk outside after dinner.
- Sit in your backyard or on your patio – and enjoy the sunshine for awhile.
-
If you have children in your life, go outside and play with them.
Remember catch, frisbee and hide-and-go-seek? They’re fun, good
exercise, and a great break from television, internet surfing and work.
- Take out your planner and schedule some time off
to enjoy a break from the ordinary. It can be at home or away, just
make sure it’s a true break – no laptop and no work. A good break isn’t
about “doing.” It’s about “being.”
A rejuvenating break
quiets your mind, restores your energy and gives you a fresh
perspective. It is essential for your productivity and well-being.
There are times when you are tempted to forge ahead and get more done,
but often, the best thing you can do is take a break. It's an
investment in your mind, body and spirit. My challenge to you this week:
Give
yourself a break! Take some time to do nothing, have fun and relax.
Notice how much more rested, productive and joyful you feel. Journaling assignment:
Have
you been giving yourself enough breaks? If not, when and what type of
breaks do you want to incorporate into your lifestyle? What are the
potential obstacles? What will you need to do to overcome those
obstacles?
Until next time ... Warm wishes,
