⏰ 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼 recoveries help punctuate the day, creating time to process and respond, vs reacting

⚒️𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 recoveries like going to the gym, or sleep, or prayer

🗓️ 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼 recoveries, like holidays and sabbaticals to make memories and find new perspectives

But macro recoveries don’t need a whole week… One recent study found that extending a holiday doesn’t necessarily mean more benefits, and that planning regular, shorter breaks is key.

On Saturday we went straight from the kids’ football matches to the train station and came to one of our favourite places in the world, Cromer in Norfolk.

We were there for only 22 hours but crammed every minute with things we enjoy, under huge Autumn skies:

•  Two sea swims
•  Fossil hunting
•  Fish and chips
•  A run on the beach
•  Playing ‘It’ in the woods

The result? A weekend that was gone in a flash.

But…

So many memories, lungs full of fresh air, time in nature, time with each other.

And the result?

Way more energy for the week ahead, fresh perspective, and a sense that this is what life’s about.
