Refresh - give new strength or energy to; reinvigorate.
Today I laid on the grass in the rain. To feel the coolness. To soak up the change in the weather and I felt refreshed.
It also highlighted to be that over the last few days I’ve been seeing people share various posts about going away, taking a break or being on holiday. And tonight’s conversation was no different.
The state of ‘going away and not opening the laptop’ appears to be a concept that is once again emerging into our consciousness.
Slowly and subtly people are recognising that an actual break, a time of not working (rather than just a time to incorporate work, especially a business) into their lives is an actual requirement not just nice to have.
If you look into brain chemistry when we sleep there are fundamental differences in the brainwave, fluid flow and electrochemical activity throughout the brain while we sleep (on a daily basis). And I am sure that there are similar changes when we ‘switch off’ and change the thoughts and stresses from away ‘work’ for short and long periods.
This is what people are referring to when they talk about the benefits of meditation ‘switching off’ of 10 minutes or an hour, letting the brain rest and refresh so that you come back, into the daily routine with more focus and vigour.
But (Question)
When did you take more than a day (or a weekend) off?
I mean to do absolutely nothing to do with work or business.
