When was the last time you laid in the grass and stared at the clouds? I haven’t stared at the clouds since my boys were young. It might even be when I was young. Do you remember the feeling? I remember not having a care in the world in those moments.

As adults, we tend to value being busy, and when asked how things are going, we hold up being busy like a trophy. The problem is that being constantly busy will diminish your creativity, happiness, and mental well being.

Take some time to stare at the clouds. Or, watch some ants going about their business. You might even go for a slow walk and pay attention to the feeling of your feet touching the ground.

Take a few minutes every day to slow down and give you mind a break.

You’ve got this.
