When I’m at the beach, it doesn’t take me very long to re-discover how little I need to restore my energy and focus. These occasional reminders are important to have semi-regularly. Apparently, according to some research, a 1-week break could be as beneficial to ‘resetting’ ourselves from our daily work and lives as a break any longer than that. In other words, shorter breaks more often seem like a better path to restoration.
It takes no longer than a week, then, to realise how simple life could be and how much of the complexity that exists in our daily lives is a choice. Beyond food and water, all I seem to need to be at peace is sunlight, a warm rock, and someone to listen.
