A coach argues that taking lunch breaks to relax makes you better at your job, not worse. Sydney Harris said "time to relax is when you don't have time for it." A rested, present coach is more effective with clients.
After a hard morning at work, I use my lunch break to relax. We often tell ourselves to work, work, work. We tell ourselves that we're too busy, have too many things to do, or we'll drop balls if we take breaks. Next time, stop and think: what's the cost if you don't relax? Sydney Harris once said, "Time to relax is when you don't have time for it." The best gift you can give your clients is your presence. Which means relaxing will make you a better coach. Time to get back to work!
