This past week I took a week-long break from work to get some stuff done around the house and take the family on a long weekend knocking around in the woods. While I was on vacation I painted the house, went camping, ran more than usual, read two books, went for long walks in the woods, waded into a freezing cold mountain river, tried long-boarding with my sons, went for a few bike rides, played golf, sat around, went for a long drive, borrowed a motorcycle and rode around Pierce County, slept in a few times, and more.
Sounds like a lot for a week doesn’t it? What do all of these things have in common? Not much except that either by portion or routine they combined to make my vacation days different than my usual day. And that’s the point.
EVERYBODY, and I do mean everybody, needs to take a break every now and then from the routine. Just sitting around on your vacation probably wont’ be enough to help you sweep the cobwebs out of your brain cells, you need to mix it up.
