How to Destress Yourself – Webcami Edition

As a web designer, creativity is always important. And that creativity can die in details of emailing, invoicing, training, filing, following through, networking… this list goes on forever. I’m making some mindful choices about managing stress this summer.  One new habit I’m working on:

If I’m going to work late, I need a 30 minute afternoon break in the sand.

I live 1/2 block from a beach and I’m embarrassed how little I enjoy it.  No matter how much I have to do, how many calls I might miss, how much I think “I don’t have time”, if I need to work late, I will go to the beach and relax for 30 minutes. How do you destress?
