The holidays, vacation, and school breaks remove schedules.
They bring relaxation and fun.
They can also bring a loss of a sense of time.
What day is it?
What time is it?
These are questions I find myself and others asking right now.
I find it interesting.
We all feel a bit ungrounded and uncomfortable without the schedule.
The routines that set the rhythm of our days.
Yet, we have an abundance of time to spend together that our day-to-day lives don’t allow.
We want to enjoy it.
We are somewhat overwhelmed with it.
We don’t want to “waste it”.
We are looking for that perfect balance of schedule and free time.
There is no perfect.
I’ve learned to just go with the flow of the experience.
Taking in the moments.
Not worrying about the time or the day.
There will be time for that when the break is over.
Your Turn
Do you lose a sense of time during breaks?
How do you handle the lack of routine?
Are you sometimes ready to get back to school/work to return to a schedule?
