Take Five

It’s only Wednesday, but who couldn’t use a break already? Putting everything aside for five minutes can help refocus your attention. Five minutes are only 300 seconds, everybody can find that amount of time during even the busiest of days.

Put everything aside, close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Concentrate on clearing your mind of everything. Undoubtedly a million thoughts will come rushing at you. Take each one and swing at it with an imaginary racket or bat and push it aside. Your breathing is the only action of interest for these fives minutes.

Set an alarm so you are not distracted by figuring out when five minutes are up.
