I find that when I'm going through a challenging time it might seem like doing something that brings me joy is a luxury or an extra I can't really think about...
Like I would feel guilty.
But nothing could be further from the truth.
Taking time to practice self-care, to do something that brings me joy, that feels restful and fueling, is not a luxury, but my responsibility to myself and everyone I care about.
Research shows that taking just a 10-15 minute break during the day helps us feel more productive, motivated, and resilient.
Taking a break and doing something for joy is an investment in our strength to help us keep going through life storms and focus on what's most important.
So I started keeping a list of things I enjoy and scheduling some into my day and week to do them.
A couple of mine are to crochet and to read for enjoyment.
What's on your Joy Break List?
What, me worry??
LOL
