I woke up early last Thursday morning, thinking about work, needing time to think, to be creative, to let my mind wander. I headed in a little early, got off the Metro at the first stop in the city and took a long walk. Down around the tidal basin, in the peak of Cherry Blossom Season. It wasn't crowded yet, the weather was mild, I had a nice walk. It is a wonderful time of the year, and a nice time of the day. On the walk, my mind wandered, far from work and the office, focused on the place, the bloom, the people. I walked for over an hour and half. When I arrived at the office I was ready to compose an important email.
Sometimes I need to get away from the office, and stop thinking about work, to give my mind a chance to work, then the work will flow.
no better time to take your advice then the spring time. I always step outside midday, just to get fresh air. We take these things for granted, but they do indeed help with the day.
ReplyDeletecherry blossoms hide all the ugly in that city.
ReplyDeleteA very smart and healthy way to start the day. When I was a kid we made an annual pilgrimage from NY to DC to see the cherry blosssoms. And we always hoped there wouldn’t be a huge rainstorm before we got there.
ReplyDeleteWork? What is this "work" of which you speak?
