What is your favorite place to go to take a break at work? I used to eat lunch in my office everyday but now I see the benefit in stepping outside the office walls and finding a safe space to decompress at work. We have a zen den at work and so far has really proved to be beneficial to staff…

I either eat my lunch at my desk or I eat it in the car. I used to eat my lunch in the break room but I could seem to get any peace. Some people wanted to chat about work which was annoying, others just liked to talk and be socialsble but I need to disconnect a little during my lunch break.

Yep I can relate to this big time. I'm not good at small talk and I thrive from alone time!! It’s hard to feel obligated to be ‘on’ all the time….. That’s why stepping away is best for me. I too used to eat in the car! Still do sometimes…

At my current job I can eat at my desk if I feel like it and no one disturbs me. I tend to eat and do Wordle and it's a nice break in the day. At a previous job my desk was in a busy area and eating there was a problem, so I'd go hide in the mailroom. I got to where I liked it.

There's a coffee shop down the block from my office and I often go there to take a little breather. It's nice to get to walk outside for a minute and go get a coffee or tea. I honestly need a break from the office at least once or twice a day, I dont' know how people stay at their desks all day long

Honestly I like to go sit in my car. There is something about being in my car with the windows down and my music turned on that I find so peaceful. I have also been known to take an occasional lunch nap in my car on those days when I am extra tired and I have no shame in it.
