I’ve been forgetting to take breaks lately.
Not the kind where I stop working and scroll my phone.
The kind where I step outside onto the deck, feel the sunshine on my face, and take a few deep breaths surrounded by greenery.
It’s funny how easy it is to convince ourselves we’re “too busy” for a five minute pause.
But every time I actually do it, I come back thinking more clearly, feeling calmer, and working better.
Today was a good reminder.
Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is walk away from the screen for a few minutes and reconnect with the world outside.
The emails will still be there.
The to do list will still be there.
The sunshine might not be.
Anyone else need this reminder today? 🌿☀️
