Having ‘time off’ is important – but it might help to think about how we use it. It’s too easy to fill our ‘time off’ with frantic – and maybe enjoyable activity – and forget that we need to rest and relaxation – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. What do you most need to refresh you? Which of these might most benefit you – and those around you? The following is just a start to help us think about this.
time away
permission to not be helpful
something '“unproductive”
connection to art and nature
solitude to recharge
a break from responsibility
stillness to decompress
safe space
alone time at home.
