When we are young our parents give us time outs - and
they know just when we need them - hitting, biting, yelling, whining - Opps! Time out!
When we are older, we also get time outs - colds,
sprains, hospital stays, burn out - all clearly indicate the need for down
time.
Isn't it interesting that, other than that two week
vacation, most of our time outs are dependent on negatives?
Let's see, sickness and 14 allowed days out of 365…
Does this make sense?

THE MAGIC
OF TIME OUTS.
There is a story about Albert Einstein.
When asked how he came up with his theory of relativity he replied
that he was staring out the window, daydreaming… Albert Einstein and Creativity
TIME OUT QUICKIES:
* Laugh out loud.
* Sit on a terrace and watch the
sun rise or set…or both.
* Write a story to a child.
* Read a silly book.
* Doodle.
* Do something totally different
than what you are supposed to do.
* Talk to a plant.
* Hug a fluffy dog.
Mostly be aware that you are giving yourself time out - and that it's
more than okay - it's crucial!
