Episode #32: The Importance of Finding an Outlet - Let’s Plug In!

  Summary: On this episode of the ACT to Live podcast, Jaime and Scott talk about how difficult it can be to take a break and find time for themselves - especially given the work that seems to be piling up. The duo then begins to explore the idea of having an outlet, and how important this ‘time away’ can be mentally, physically, and emotionally. Scott and Jaime then talk about some of the benefits of having an outlet/hobby and brainstorm possible ways to incorporate these activities into their daily lives - so that they are more likely to make this ‘time away’ a habit.  ACTion Event of the Week: Start out small - take five minutes this week and engage in a new (or old) hobby/outlet. What was the experience like for you?  On our next episode of ACT to Live, we’ll delve into the ever-relevant topic of resilience. So Come On, Let’s Take a Walk!
