Taking Breaks

Taking breaks isn’t about neglecting your responsibilities, but instead setting them to the side for a moment. When you’re feeling tired and in need of a break. You can’t do your best work or be the best version of yourself if you’re running on empty. This is why it’s important to get in the habit of taking breaks regularly.

Live in the Present Moment

We often find ourselves worried about the past and future. Things that have happened or things that are yet to happen. It’s important to ground ourselves in the present and focus on what’s happening at that moment. Not being distracted by rumination of the past or worries of the future. Instead we are aware and mindful of what’s happening in the current moment. Take the time to appreciate where you are, what you’re doing, and who is with you.
