Mindful Monday for Oct. 13

Mindful Monday for Oct. 13

The Mindful Monday for Oct. 13 is a quote from author Anne Lamott: "Almost everyone will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." This quote is especially relevant this fall break week. When things feel like they are going a mile a minute, and we feel unable to keep up. Sometimes the best advice comes from our friends in IT: Turn it off and turn it back on again. We have been fooled to think that always being busy means we are being productive. Resting and recharging our internal batteries is often the most productive thing we can do.
