Need a lift? Freshen up by taking mini-holidays throughout the day.
What gives you a hit of joy? Perhaps it’s watching a three-minute digital slide show of your five-year-old. Or reading today’s post from a blogger who’s guaranteed to make you laugh. Or unscrewing the lid of a vial of lavender oil.
Consider the physical nature of rejuvenation and pander to your senses. Even if your daily work is physical, a switch to a different form of physical wonderment can revive.
Experiment and keep track of what works best to rejuvenate, reconnect, and resuscitate you. Make it easy to renew your WOWs.
Here’s a sampling from my list:
- k.d. lang singing Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”
- Pamela Hochschartner Viola’s photography on A Small Work A Day, Flickr, and Trunkt
- Pulitzer Prize-winner Dave Barry‘s funny columns
- Jo Dunning‘s broadcasts (certain ones), like from May 7th on The World Puja Network (sign in to access the archives), and her Abundance Project series (on her own site)

These would truly be the “pause that refreshes”! Much better for us, IMHO, than a soda . . .
I use the special mantra a friend wrote for me (after my asking ;-D)
