I am unsure if this should be a Tuesday Top of Mind post or a School Me Saturday post.
Then I thought of all the adults that are not in school.
Heck, I might do both.
But the best advice I can give to anyone is it is okay to give yourself permission for a break.
There is no set number of chores that have to be done before you take a moment to yourself.
There is no set of unwritten rules that says all work must be done before you take a break.
There is no taskmaster standing over us with a whip in one hand and an ugly sneer on their face barking at us to get back to work.
The only taskmaster that we have as adults is our own brains.
Granted, some people’s taskmaster is very lenient and allows them to do nothing but relax. That’s for another time.
Remember recess?
That period of time that school kids are allowed to blow off some steam on the playground.
There should be adult recess.
No chores allowed.
This will take self-control to stop recess and continue with your chores, tasks, or work.
I believe I can do it. I believe you can do it too.
Go ahead.
Take 10 minutes away from the chores, and the tasks, and the work.
Your mind will thank you.
