Greetings!
Ahhh, Summertime.....I hope this newsletter finds you shifting into "summer mode". We can continue in our busy ways right through the months of July and August, or we can choose to make a shift in our everyday routine to a more relaxed summer mode.
Did you know that the United States is one of the only developed countries that does not mandate employee vacation time? With our 24/7 workplaces it is difficult to disconnect and take the time necessary to renew and recharge. Studies indicate that those employees who do shift away from the workplace for vacation return with increased creativity and productivity. I have included some ideas for shifting into "summer mode" in this newsletter. However the "summer mode" manifests in your life....remember to renew for you!
As always, I appreciate your comments, suggestions and topics for future newsletters and workshops. I am grateful to so many of you for spreading the word about Stress Resources by forwarding our newsletter to friends and colleagues. Many thanks!
Wishing you time to renew this summer,
Pam
