Take a few moments to connect with nature
Leave your phone behind and take a five minute wander outside if you can. Focus on your breathing and getting daylight light in your eyes.
We often trap ourselves in a cycle of 'business' and ‘busy-ness’ in and around hotel life. We have an urge to stay permanently focused, head down, powering through an endless to-do list. Too much 'focus' time can impact our efficiencies, creativity, meaningful connections and wellbeing.
Connecting with nature can instantly uplift our mood and spark changes in our attitude & behaviours.
Accelerator:
Slow your breathing by 50% to dial down the nervous system.
