Do You Take Breaks?

I'm not sure what you do for a living or how you work.


For example, I'm a solo content creator and my studio/office is a renovated bedroom at our house.


Don't get me wrong, I love my office but I can also stay in my office, on the computer way too long. So long, I forget to just go outside and switch from virtual reality to real reality.


Last week I decided I needed a break. LIke get out of the office, get out of the house, get off the computer and take a short break.


So I grabbed my notebook and pen and headed off to one of my favorite coffee shops. Confession, I did take my iPhone and iPad but never used thed iPad since there was no WiFi - blessing? curse?

Then for the next hour-ish or so, I wrote. Like old-school pen to paper wrote things about life, work, ideas, even talked to God via my pen.


And it was sooooooo refreshing. Okay, the iced cappuccino didn't hurt either. 😁


My point is this - it refreshed me in a way I had lost. Getting out. Changing my scenery, unplugging. All helped me feel refreshed and recharged.


So if you're feeling stressed, or stuck, or uncreative...unplug and take a break. The work and the world will be right where you left it.


Have a great today.

Kevin
