We often wish we were somewhere else or doing something else. It’s not always easy to take a break and leave work or walk out of the classroom, but we can take a mini mind break to refocus.
Mini mind breaks are personal and can be taken at any time. You don’t have to physically go anywhere. Just let your mind drift to a happy place and feel the happy sense of calm this mental break brings you.
Here’s how it works:
Next time you need a break but can’t take one, start by taking a deep breath. Now imagine something that makes you happy. Imagine being at the beach or on a picnic. Imagine your favorite place to take a walk or get away. Imagine smiling and laughing with your children. When you imagine things that make you happy, your body releases endorphins, which makes you feel uplifted and will help you get through the day and the tasks at hand.
Positive thoughts do lead to a happier day. Practice mini mind breaks to stay positive and happy every day.
