I won't even ask if you are familiar with such a situation when the day seems just crazy: several tasks that need to be completed urgently, calls that need to be made urgently, unsent letters… And you only dream that this day will end as soon as possible and this fuss will pass, and by the end of the day, you're just running on autopilot.
Such days do not bring you any benefit, but only bring you wild fatigue, besides, it's terrible to dream that the day will end sooner, because it will never happen again. How to make it a little calmer and more measured, despite a lot of things?
A "respite" is your conscious decision to take a break. Leave everything you are doing for 60 seconds and relax, reboot and, most importantly, enjoy the silence.
You can be anywhere: at work, in the shower, standing at an intersection waiting for a traffic light, or waiting for an elevator. The point is that you have to stop, disconnect from the outside world and focus only on your deep breathing.
This exercise will help you look at things a little differently, with a fresh look, the day will become calmer, you will gain balance, and all you need is to take a few breaks during the day.
1. You need to take a break 3 times a day for 60 seconds. It's good if it's in the morning, at lunch and in the evening. In this case, the rule applies — the more, the better. So if you want, you can take more breaks, but 3 is the perfect amount to start with. Try to execute them first.
2. Use the full 60 seconds. The whole minute is completely necessary for you to relax and think only about deep inhalation and exhalation. Focus on slow motion and enjoy the respite. Enjoy the silence and let go of everything you've been thinking about before. Exactly 60 seconds is a respite.
3. Before you start a new business, take a break. You will be surprised to feel how this exercise can energize and clear your mind for new things.
A break is 60 seconds that will make your day better and calmer.
