60 Mindful Minutes 026: Finding Life in a Lunch Break with Laura Archer
Only 1 in 5 five people step away from their desk for lunch. Today’s guest is on a mission to change that. Laura Archer is the author of Gone for Lunch: 52 Things to do on Your Lunch Break, a book she wrote on her journey to reclaim her midday break and to find more time for herself, her interests and her self-care. Through her book, blog and workshops, Laura aims to help individuals and companies to appreciate the unbelievable benefits of taking a lunch break - even if it’s only for 20 minutes once or twice a week. What’s so great about Laura’s story is that it started with her own simple curiosity and her own yearning to feel more connected to herself and the world around her. So what are the benefits of taking a break? What’s stopping us from simply pausing from our work and having a rest? We dive into these questions and so much more.
