Decision Fatigue & Mindful / Mind Less Breaks

Psychologists tell us a major challenge for the 21st century lifestyle is decision fatigue.  Our fast pace lives full of too many choices and decisions are like exhausting gym workouts where by the end of the day our ability to make good decisions has begun to fade.  What’s the answer?  Recognize we can’t be our best with back-to-back meetings, eating at all-you-can-eat buffets, and when we are tired or hungry.  We need to take micro-breaks every 60-90 minutes of our wake time and get out of our heads and into our hearts.  Stretch breaks, walk breaks, friend breaks, time spent being mindful of just being, not doing or thinking about doing.  Try a few mindful / mind less breaks today.
