I’m lucky that my employer is a big supporter of flexible working; I recently agreed to work compressed hours – completing 10 days of work over a nine day period (which means I get to take one day off as ‘non working’ every fortnight).
Today was that day – and instead of catching up on the usual household chores, or even getting out on the bike, my wife and I went to a spa for the day. It was glorious – we’re at the start of a mini heat wave in the UK, so the temperature was a perfect 26 degrees (around 78 Fahrenheit??) – and felt like we were abroad.
It’s easy to become a slave to the to do list, but sometimes you just need to put it down and take some time out….
Self care isn’t selfish.
Back on the bike tomorrow – planning on making the most of the warm weather and early sunrise.
