Editors’ note: Verily Work is here to help you when the workweek stress creeps in. We usually do that by giving you some Sunday night encouragement and something to reflect on or try in the coming week. But another way to nurture a healthy relationship with work is to step away from it—that’s what today’s edition is about. This edition takes the place of the one you’d normally receive on Sunday; we’ll be back to our usual Sunday routine on May 24. In the meantime, we hope you have a restorative weekend and a minimally stressful week!
“If we want to live a wholehearted life, we have to become intentional about cultivating rest and play.”
