RE: Let's Talk—The Importance of Doing Absolutely Nothing and Taking a Break!
Oh yes! Just yes!!! I used to work in high-powered, fast-paced environment which wore me down after a number of years. Now, I work for myself from home. I live a short 10 minute drive to a large nature reserve where I spend an hour to an hour and a half every lunchtime. It is completely rejuvenating and let's me come up with my best creative ideas. We all need it - but some people are rather trapped.
getting close to nature is something that most people overlook you are spot on with this post,for anyone in doubt just go feed the ducks or a stray animal, sit quietly and listen to the breeze its like a mini holiday from lifes pressures, to watch nature i swear is the best learning experience you can find and it is totally free, to see a family of ducks go about their business just foraging for food or a tree swaying in the wind, even a wild moorland with its varied habitat and multitude of inhabitants they give us breaks from the pressures of life and leave us thinking i suspect that we could be more like them :)
I think you did a good thing by changing your line of work or your work environment. It's great to know that you live close to a reserve. That's just perfect in my opinion!
