actively choosing

A good reminder
(and it made me think of you, B!),
and I liked the illustrator's thoughts behind it:

"There was a great article in the New York Times Sunday about the importance of relaxing — and how taking time to relax actually increases productivity. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to balance my internal drive to work with periods of intentional relaxation (I’ve written about this in other contexts before). I plan to use my move to a completely new environment as an opportunity to start a new practice: taking regular breaks to rejuvenate (at least one a day) — to walk, lie down with my eyes closed, read for 20 minutes. I need to get beyond justthinking about taking relaxing breaks during my work day — to actually relaxing. I’m not philosophically opposed to relaxing, per se, it’s just that I get so caught up in my work on most days that I don’t lift my head from the desk or look away from the computer for hours at a time. So this will require being more mindful and intentional."
