We all need a break from the familiar, especially when we work all day in cement cubicles or at home in the basement corner.

Here’s a few great ideas to put some air back in those lungs and a smile on your face, before you get back at it (whatever it is you do for a living).

At lunchtime, grab a sandwich and a change of scenery  Get out of the office at lunch instead of eating at your desk (you do take lunch don’t you?). 

Head to a park and just sit and daydream, instead of worrying about the unfinished project or long meeting you have ahead of you.

Head to a flower shop and take in the delights of colour, fragrance, design.  Refreshing and full of inspiration.  (this is always a favourite for this Burnout Queen and the pic. attached is where you could find me when I lived in Vancouver.  Now I have 2 options on my doorstep)

Head to a pet store and laugh while watching the antics of the pups and kittens in the window. (note to self: don’t take the credit card you’ll be tempted)

Changing the scenery in your workday is just what you need to reset your body and mind onto a calmer path.  Lunchtime…refresh time!

ps: if you don’t take lunches, we seriously need to talk…..
