Remember! Take A Break From Work This Weekend!

Even when work and home are separate places, unplugging can be challenging.  Now, with the recent shift to more people working from home, the boundaries are becoming even more blurred.

Taking a break from work is essential to our productivity, stress management and overall mental and physical well being.  Yet we feel guilty doing it.  Why?  

Some studies show that our guilt is rooted in fear, that we will fall behind, not be as good as a co-worker, or won't be successful. 

We must remember that “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” – Anne Lamott*
