50 Things To Do When You Need a Break
We all have those days: the work seems to be piling up at work, there’s lots of daunting tasks waiting for you at home, this fell apart, etc. Things just aren’t going your way, you’re feeling stressed out, overworked and on-edge.
Sound familiar? Well, take some time – five minutes, ten, an hour – and try completing one of the following suggestions to give yourself a break from the everyday stressors.
Noticing the little things…
How often do we only look at the ‘bigger picture’ of something – a scene, a situation in our own lives, a photo? Allowing our brains to absorb only the biggest and most obvious details often leaves something to be desired. By not only wrapping our heads around a big picture but also taking time to notice and appreciate small details, we can get a better view of the world, what needs to change and how to change it.
Keep Working on That Bucket List…
I recently posted about creating your own bucket list, or list of things you hope to do and accomplish in your lifetime. I’ve had my list for about six years now – but my challenge for you today and this week is not to make the list, but to actually work on it!
Make a Small Change…
A word of warning to start this off: I’m big on the whole “self-help,” “get healthy” thing. I picked up a book yesterday at the library that provided 52 small changes you can make to be happier and healthier. Of course, it’s designed so you can take one change per week, but I plan to just read through it all and do it as I go along, and see what works and what doesn’t.
