how to take an effective break the mentor way - a podcast by Maggie DiPasquale

A side effect of the pandemic I didn't expect was how hard it is to not have designated transition times. We used to have built in commutes, walks to class, in-person after school activities and meetings. It takes extra work now to signify the end of one thing and the start of another making a lot of life a blur right now. 

During the Q&A portion of a talk I gave recently, a student asked: "How can I take a break?" The question struck me as incredibly important now that our lives are so digital. It reminded me of the tattoo story because what we connect to on our "off time" has become vital now that the pull of our devices is stronger than ever.

In today's pep talk, I share why breaks are important today more than ever, the mindful mentor way to think about taking a pause, and three basic break tips!
