TIME OUT.
Taking time out. It’s often seen as a weakness – that you can’t handle the fast pace of modern
life. Being ‘busy’ has become a badge of honour, that people wear as if their busy-ness/
busi-ness proves that they are doing something in life and makes them feel like they are
important because there is also something ‘to do’.
Whilst having a busy schedule can be great for a while, and can mean you’re doing well in
your career. I think it’s always important to take time out for yourself, not think about work,
and spend a day or two (or a month or two if you can) reminding yourself who you are without
all the daily distractions of work, emails, partners, tv series…
Today I’m doing just that, taking a day for myself. I feel like since we got to Sydney and
stopped travelling, I’ve had so much to do (#busybrag) and have lost touch with myself
somewhat. I’m going to go and swim in the ocean and feel the sun on my skin, read, write
and think.
What do you do when you take a time out?
