As I sit in my office today I am greeted by a winter storm outside. The snow is coming down very fast. I get cold just looking outside. It looks very beautiful--from in here anyway.
The other day when it was similar conditions, I decided to go out to lunch. It was the most relaxing and warm lunch I have had in a long time. Do you know where I went?
It is not very often that I go out for lunch. The day is so packed, with not enough time to get things done as it is. But last week I decided to get out for just a bit. I went to Panera's. It was very cold and snowy outside, yet inside the Panera's it was very warm and cozy. They had the fireplace going in the middle of the restauraunt.
The food was very good, especially the warm soup. This visit to Panera really released a lot of stress that had been accumulating throughout the week. I could almost imagine going there at a ski resort, after a full day of skiing to unwind and relax.
Sometimes the best way to manage stress is to take a little time off here and there. We weren't made to be workhorses- although sometimes it seems like we have to. Relieving stress can do wonders for your mental health as well as your overall health. So do yourself a favor and take a break today.
