Goal for the Day: Take Time for Tea

We’re all busy. Whether you work from home as I do, occupy a space in an office building or have the enormous task of taking care of your home and children, the old cliché of “not enough hours in a day” rings true. With all of our responsibilities, by the end of the day, most of us feel exhausted and harried. In working to maintain a certain quality of life, we often forget to actively imbue our daily routines with quality.


All the more reason to pause for fifteen minutes today to give yourself a treat! Everyone deserves a break. In Victorian England, teatime was a revered tradition. This served as a welcome respite from the responsibilities of the day. We all deserve that.

So, give yourself that break. Get away from your work, your responsibilities and your cares and make yourself a cup of tea, have a cool drink or a healthy snack (or even something more decadent, if you can). For most of us, there’s no harm in one sliver of cake. Just give yourself a chance to recuperate. If you can, listen to some music, read a book, check-up on your favorite blog and relax for just fifteen minutes. You’ll see that the results will surprise you.
