Dear Lovely Lady,
I'm in the middle of my hour-time block marked "Lunch" as I write you this letter. I hope you're day is going as fabulously as you deserve. I recently had an epiphany that hit me while checking off the to-do list for the day.
Sometimes we become engulfed by our work and we nix a meet up here and there with friends. Traveling to and fro for work allows you to see new places and try new restaurants, but often you do it solo style or with clients. This varies ofcourse from position to position, but sometimes we do it for other reasons than just our growing work load.
It could be to prove to the world and maybe even secretly to ourselves that we're more than just a number, but a valuable employee and a capable woman. However, all we end up with is a burn out wondering why all of our friends have become so distant. We might question why in the world we're sitting in front of a tv screen instead of being out at a chic down town event with our best friends.
Well I'm here to tell you that we have to begin to take care of ourselves. You have to take care of yourself. You can't help anyone else if you don't help yourself first. So if not for you, do it for everyone else. Take care of yourself. Remember how it was to be that child on the playground carefree and relive that spirit. During your lunch break do something spontaneous like trying that new coffee shop downtown you've been eyeing but never make the time to go try. Disconnect completely for a while and pretend you're not from here.
After all, remember, lunch breaks aren't just for kids.
Sincerely Yours,
The Refined Lady
