Blue Monday

14 September 2020

What a glorious day! We have 25deg, no clouds and bright sun shine. Easily one of the nicest August days we’ve had in September so far. Clearly the weather is treating us today, so that we can forget for a moment about the colder Winter days heading our way.

I’m supposed to be working at my desk. Emails, admin to sort and clients to book in …the usual Monday to do list.

Or, right now, part of my ‘not yet’ list.

This weather is too good to miss. A gentle breeze wafts about in a cheery way and the sounds of life tumble in over the garden fence.

It’s one of those days that make me think; what is the point of life if we don’t stop for a while and be in it?

What is the point of being in business if we don’t give ourselves permission sometimes to down tools and sit in the sun?

We all need a break. It’s good for our soul and ultimately good for our productivity.

If we just keep on working then we risk burn out. So, when the weather is on our side, why not let the emails hang for an hour or two and enjoy being alive?

This a blue Monday. Blue because the sky is swimming pool blue today and I’m having a swim in the sun.

What a lovely day!

So, when will you stop work and allow yourself to be in the world for a while?

Have a happy day!
