TakeaBreak

Do you have any wacky decorations that make you smile? In your home, at work, car?

I have silly large microbes and other "happy objects" at my desk at work. Pic in comments.

Please share a pic of your wackiness.

I tried out a really fun technique using white school glue as the resist, and watercolors as the medium. Give it a go for a relaxing break! #Watercolors #TakeaBreak

Life... do you join in it?
Or is it just too difficult sometimes?
For me, I need my sleep, 12 hrs a day.
I must made an Assessment of my body in the first hour. Some days, I immediately give up....💔😰

Major respect to everyone dealing with mental illness on top of physical illness. It’s an insane balancing act, and some days just feel impossible. Today feels impossible for me, but it’s okay to take a break and take care of yourself in the ways that you need to. That’s what this little muffin reminds me to do. #TakeaBreak #MentalHealth #ChronicIllness

When you’re trying to unwind after a busy or hard day, what sounds evoke a sense of calm and relaxation for you? Maybe it’s the sound of ocean waves crashing on the shoreline or babbling brooks. Maybe it’s soothing instrumental music. Or perhaps it’s one of your favorite songs — no matter the tempo.

Whether you have a whole playlist or just one sound or song that centers you, share your go-to in the comments below.

Maybe you’re on a roll with completing tasks that you lose track of time and you don’t realize you haven’t taken a break in some time. Or maybe you know you need to rest but you don’t feel like you can until you finish your to-do list.

Has someone had to step in and remind you it’s OK to to press “pause” on what you’re doing? If yes, we’re not here to judge you. But do consider this post your reminder to “take five” today.

We all have our “limits” when it comes to what we can do. What’s yours? When do you need to stop and prioritize rest for a bit? This week’s challenge is all about taking a break.

Maybe you have been burning the candle at both ends for a bit too long and need to take a much needed break. Or maybe you have been doing for others but not enough for yourself. Whatever the case may be, let us know how you can tell when you need to take a break.
