Everybody needs a break once in a while

When we’re stressed and overwhelmed with work it can be challenging to take a few hours or a few days for ourselves. But spending a little time somewhere quiet, with a nice view, is a great way to slow down and regain perspective. In the grand scheme of things, having too many difficult projects with too-short deadlines is temporary. Life is bigger than our jobs.

When work and life are flowing smoothly, it is still important to take a break every now and then. Instead of using the time to recover, we can just…be. Breathe fresh air, watch a sunset, spend a few hours looking at geese making their way up and down a shoreline. It might spark creativity. It might just be a chance to shore up energy reserves that we’ll need to draw on later.

Do you need a break?
