A break’s original purpose was to create a sense of spaciousness and cultivate calm to rebalance the mind, body & soul. In this sense it was a way of self-soothing that reduces anxiety.
The default for ‘taking a break’ these days often means grabbing a cup of coffee or scrolling social media, which is anything but soothing and studies how can actually increase feelings of anxiousness.
What is self-soothing? It is any behaviour we use to regulate our emotional state by ourselves.
There are infinite ways to self-sooth, but not all are created equal. There is a great difference between ones that are beneficial to us and those that are self-sabotaging. They are the ones that, while they temporarily change our emotional state, they create a worse state in the future. The most dramatic example of these being toxin withdrawal – like nicotine, sugar and yes….even that delicious Rose wine.
Here are some tips on how to restore true self-care to your breaks and cultivate the art of healthy self-soothing
The first thing to become aware of is WHY you need to take a break.
How are you Feeling?
1) Tired / Physically Drained
2) Hungry (really physically hungry…not just mentally)
3)Mentally overwhelmed / Brain Fried
4)Emotionally Agitated / Irritable
Often we are more than just one of these things, but when you are aware of the why you can choose a type of break that will really be a remedy and provide the relief you are looking for.
