Today's post is about "take five" (not the candy bar, although that is one of my all-time favorites, and the image above is misleading!) I think this phrase can apply to many things, but here are a few things that popped into my head today, as we all need a break from school, work, and whatever else is going on in our lives.
Take five moments to:
- ...relax
- ...call a friend
- ...send someone a meaningful note
- ...find something funny on YouTube
- ...listen to your favorite song
- ...try a new flavored chai tea latte
- ...strike up a conversation with a stranger
- ...make a new friend
- ...find an old email that makes you smile
- ...look through pictures and reminisce
- ...walk to your next destination instead of drive
- ...tidy up your room
- ...find an inspiring story or quote to share with others

I took five to help a neighbor with their snow covered driveway and ended up with a huge piece of german chocolate cake. good advice!! And the cake was exceptional.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious! What an unexpected reward :)
ReplyDeleteGREAT post! 5 minutes? I try and find a quiet place (difficult with two youngsters around) and just look out the window. Or, I chase one of said-youngsters and tickle them crazy! ha.
ReplyDeleteI took 5 minutes today to listen to a friend tell me about her Mother who was ill and her sister who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. That conversation wouldn't have happened if I had been "too busy" to ask how she is doing (no, how are you REALLY doing?).
