Taking Time
Our favorite 5-minute slowdowns
Not everyone can take long breaks during a super busy day. But we can sneak a few minutes here and there. We‘ve gathered a few of our favorite ideas for a quick and meaningful break to lighten our hearts and make the most out of a few short minutes.
Take a walk
For just 5 minutes
Yes, just five can be wonderful, especially if the sun is out.
Listen, breathe, and pause. Just 5 minutes!
Grab a small snack and sit quietly. We love a basket of berries and a muffin for a break.
No phones allowed. Simple treats. A slow pace. No distractions. 5 sweet minutes.
Plan a dinner menu
Or create a shopping list for the next local farmers market
Are you having a few people over? Or maybe it’s just you?
Either way, a 5-minute pause to think about eating well and sharing a favorite recipe can be creative and restful.
The 5-minute flower arrangement: There is no need to shop—just step outside. Branches, stems, and small floral bits are all you need. We love simple small pots with vintage charm. Go slow, make it intentional, and enjoy each snip.
Light a candle
Find your favorite sent and strike a match. Sit breath in, watch the flame.
We love the take time for five process.
It helps clear your mind and energize the creative in you.
Simple things that make all the difference.
