Feeling like this today?
It's BREAK TIME.
The fast pace of today's society and feeling the need to consistently be doing something can take a toll on yourself. Physically, emotionally and mental draining. You are stuck into your everyday routine and have come to a rut with everything. Your everyday actions begin to blur one after another. It's time to take a break for YOU.
Here are a few things that you can do for yourself to break the rut!
1. Take 10 minutes out of your day for some peace and quiet.
We are surrounded by noise all day long and it is kind of exhausting. Schedule a time in your day for some quiet time. Honestly, it may seem silly but you'll appreciate it once you make it a routine. Put the phone on silent and embrace being unplugged.
2. Treat yourself to your favorite thing.
Whether it be a food, drink, activity or little online shopping, you need to treat yourself! After all the hard work put into your days, it's about that time to invest into you even if it's a guilty pleasure.
3. Get active.
If in your daily routines a workout is missing, this is something you need to do! It can either be a walk, run, class workout or finally going to your gym. Working out relieves all the stresses of the day and you'll forget about everything on your mind. It clears the soul and mind. PLUS your mood will so much better after! You're making your body healthy AND improving your mood. How much better of a combo can you get?
4. Invest in candles. Yes, I said candles.
The aroma can easily set your mind at ease and help get your life into order. Also, TIS the season for those warm classic smells of fall and winter! Great deals are happening too, so you have no other choice but to shop for your own sanity, right?
5. Watch an episode of your show. Or maybe two...
If it's been a while since you've caught up on your show, then watch an episode! It'll give you something else to focus on and break up your day for a while. Indulging is never bad.
6. Have a dance and sing breakdown.
It's time to blare out Adele's "Hello" single with no regrets and do the classic "q-tip" dance (comment below if you know what movie reference I'm talking about). Whatever song you love or some dance form you create in that time you need to be goofy!
These are only a few of what can help break the classic rut feeling of the everyday routines of life. We've all been in this, especially if you're in school or job it's time for a little break! Do something out of the ordinary even if it seems different, do it! The more change of the day the better.
