Blog Thoughts: Mindful Work

This question can sting. Recently I found myself in this Catch-22. Deadlines are every day all the time, but our bodies don't really care. Illness can come, but we still have to work through them to make those deadlines. How can we balance rest in our lives so that it doesn't come to such hard choices? I know that I was good at practicing this at one point, but working for myself sometimes gets me caught up in the work. Is it my best work if I am not creating this balance? How can you incorporate rest into your day more, whether it be just 15 minutes of meditation, a walk, or a cup of tea. I don't think it has to be grand, but when we give our bodies a little break, it will balance out the pressure we are putting on ourselves in the long run.
