take a sunshine break

Ok, granted, it's gloomy today here in NYC, but the intention's the same. When you're feeling the need for something -- a break of some kind -- in the middle of the day, do this:

• Go outside and get a fresh dose of sunshine
• Don't have a cigarette
• Don't buy a coffee
• Don't go on a 15-minute spending spree at the nearest boutique

Simply soak in the rays of that fiery ball in the sky. After all, that bit of Vitamin D will do you good. Just 10 minutes outside a day without sunscreen will help keep your bones healthy. And of course it's just nice to escape the cubical confines of the climate-controlled office.
