On the importance of taking breaks

On the importance of taking breaks

Sometimes we may feel overwhelmed, stressed, or burned out by the amount and intensity of our tasks and responsibilities.

When we are burned out, feeling tired, irritable, sometimes cynical, detached, or ineffective, it can affect our health, happiness, and performance.
One way to prevent or cope with burnout is by taking regular breaks throughout the day. Breaks can help restore our energy, motivation, and creativity. They can also help us manage stress, improve mood and enhance well-being. Meditation is a powerful tool that can help us take effective breaks.
Starting at 2:04, this 10-minute guided meditation aims to reinvigorate and reconnect us to our breathe and bodies, fostering a more spacious, compassionate and rested state of mind.

Facilitated by Justin Burkett, MN, RN, CHSE, leadership and meditation facilitator and assistant professor in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Calgary Presented by UCalgary's Campus Mental Health Strategy
