Slow Down, Sip Some Tea

Life can feel like a race sometimes. When we finish one task we quickly move on to the next - racing the clock, spinning our wheels, and often burning out.

 

Did you know that you can be more productive if you pause for a 15-30 minute break? You betcha! Creativity flows more freely; you will likely experience a calmness throughout your day when you rest. One of my favorite ways to pause is to enjoy a cup of tea in the morning or midday. I savor every flavor note, enjoy the warmth (or coolness in the summer) and rest my mind. Focusing on the present moment in such a way has led to many "aha!” moments and better creative flow throughout my work day.
