Pause, Breathe and Grow is the perfect companion for anyone with a creative and inquisitive mind. Aimed at students, artists, designers, illustrators, coders, innovators, creative technologists, craft hobbyists and more, this guide provides a blueprint for changing the way we view our work and ourselves. These pages are for those at any stage of their career or life who want to think more clearly, enrich their creativity, enjoy their work more, become more resilient and achieve a greater sense of calm.
Written by designer and creative director Radim Malinic, the foundations of Pause, Breathe and Grow lay in making progress in realistic increments. Designed to be used alongside people’s work schedule, each page focuses on just one thing to achieve in a day. Containing enough prompts to enable readers to try a new exercise each day for 126 days (around four months), the book also includes spaces devoted to tracking moods and habits, and to jot down daily notes and reflections.
The prompts in the book aim to help avoid task overload and endless lists that never get fully ticked off. They offer new ideas for improving workflow, and more broadly, for helping find peace with the world. Through easy-to-follow advice on approaching tasks with clarity, thoughtfulness and creativity, this book helps untangle the mind from knots of seemingly impossible deadlines and unshakeable doubts.
