Sabbatical Advice

This morning Marilyn Bedford brought in a Tulsa World article from Sunday, February 13 on the importance of taking some intentional time off from work and getting to know yourself and your world a bit better. A sidebar entitled "Respite may be what you need" gives some practical advice on what to do with that time. Suggestions include exercise, keeping a journal, prioritizing commitments for when you go back to work and disconnecting from electronics. And, of course, meditation.
"Make time each day to clear your mind. A half-hour of quiet time can help relieve stress and give you a new perspective."

How true. And how very interesting to keep seeing the recommendation to meditate in the mainstream press.
