Work will always be work, it will always be endless things to do. Let me clarify, work has it's place and it is good to be productive, it's apart of learning, growing and sharpening our skills. However, sometimes all work and no play just creates stress and anxiety. It is good to take a breather once in a while, having a outlet and a way to unwind is important. What do you do to unwind or relax?
Personally, I have a few activities that helps me to relax. Just to name a few, I like to take a walk on a nice day, there is nothing like breathing in fresh air and feeling the wind blow through my hair. I feel so alive with the crisp clean air moving through my lungs. Music is also my friend, I can lose myself in the melody. Music inspire me, it makes me smile, it makes me dance and it helps me process my emotions. Music also makes me feel alive. What makes you feel alive?
Whatever, positive activity makes you feel alive do that. As I get older, I find that I seek after peace and wellness. I am learning the importance of achieving peace and calmness in my life. Work will always be work and it is never ending. I will be more effective with my work when I have calmness in my life. Taking the time to smell the roses is important to me and so I will continue to take the time to do so. Being motivated to take the time for my self is hard at times, I have to try and be intentional daily about taking the time.
I hope that you too find the time to be intentional with yourself and take the time to smell the roses.
