Yes, those few moments to stop and breathe do make a difference.
Yesterday, I did 3 hours of volunteering at Phipps Conservatory where I get to sit in a beautiful garden and help answer gardening questions for visitors. And other questions, like "Where is Story Time?" and "Where's the closest restroom". Anyway, just sitting in that garden is wonderful by its self, especially since the weather was neither too hot nor too cold and I was under a canopy in the shade. So that feels like doing something for myself. Thanks for asking
