It is through the small things we do that we learn, not the big things

Take a time out

Here we are at another time of the year to allows us a momentary slowdown in our franctic race of life.

Have you ever taken a time out? Whether health reasons, lack of work, a sabbatical year or just for vacation? You know, when your life calms down and you stop to run.


We feel disoriented, because we used to live life at full speed: "metro, boulot, dodo". And suddenly, we finally have time to think. What to do with all this this time?

More and more people are tired, stressed and have health problems. Why? Perhaps because they does not give themselves the right to say no. We always do more! We forget ourselves. We think less of ourselves. It is a wheel running and we can no longer find our own balance.

Why not taking the time to challenge our lifestyle, our values and most importantly, our own needs? Take the time to ask the following questions: What do I need to have a happy life? What means do I take to reach
my goals? In what direction am I called to forward?

It is essential to appreciate all that you do, take time for yourself to determine what you aspire and above all, listen to your inner voice. It is often the way to find answers to your questions. Let the answers coming in naturally, It might surprise you.

It is a privilege to take a pause to take a look to his life. I wish this break to you, so you can put your life on the road you have chosen. Appreciate every moment of your life (one at a time) and you will see at the end of your day, you will be less tired and you will be much happier. You have finally taken advantage of your time.

Enjoy this time of year to look around you and find what is really important, what makes you pleasure and with whom you enjoy doing activities, implement projects and have a good time. Be generous with yourself, dare to allow true rest time.

Do you pause in your life? If yes, Share with us what you do.
