If I were to ask a group of 100 people who could use a break from reality, I’m willing to bet I’d see every hand shoot up. Am I right? Because let’s face it, life gets so crazy busy hectic that many of us forget to take a step back and give ourselves a break. And besides, who doesn’t love a vacation or break from their daily routine once in a while?
Often times we forget to put our feet up and take some of the weight off our shoulders that we carry around every day. Work, kids, errands – my to-do list is always a mile long, and I’ve learned to multi-task like a boss just trying to keep up with it. It’s easy to get overwhelmed, stressed and exhausted. In fact, 8 out of 10 people admit to getting overwhelmed from their daily routine.
But despite how busy and hectic my days are, there’s one person in my life whose schedule definitely takes the cake for crazy, and that’s my husband. He’s a man who’s incredibly devoted to his family, job and home, and his efforts and dedication don’t go unnoticed. At a company event in January, his coworkers described him has “baby focused”, “family driven”, “energetic” and “dedicated and hard-working.” He won MVP at the event, a true testament that he puts his best foot forward when it comes to his job. Many days he’s up before the sun logging anywhere from 8-12 hour work days – all to help support me and my daughter. But his hard work and dedication doesn’t stop with his day job. Everything he does for me and my daughter is endless. There are times when I can see how exhausted he is, which bums me out a bit. I wish he had more time to just relax a little more without worrying about his to-do list that’s certainly a lot longer and more demanding than mine.
We try to live by the famous motto, “Work hard, Play hard”, and we truly believe that taking a break from our daily routine once in a while is important for our mental and physical well-being. But alas, it’s not always easy to get as much time to “play” and relax as we’d like. And much like my family, my friends over at Chobani also believe in living a healthy and balanced lifestyle too, which goes beyond eating healthy and exercising. They know it’s important to decompress, and they too believe taking breaks once in a while to enjoy life.
So while I know a lot of hard-working people and think we all need to take time for break time, my husband is the one who stands out most, and today I nominate him as someone who could use a break. Who knows, maybe he’ll nominate me back?! And if he does, I’ll spend my time basking in the sun enjoying a delicious and healthy Chobani Flip!
