The Invisible Fence

by

Setting a boundary you must physically cross.

For months, he had worked from the kitchen table, blurring the line between work and home. He was always 'on.' Today, he made a rule: work stops at 5:30 PM, and he had to leave the apartment for 15 minutes. At 5:30 PM, he locked his desk and walked out. He didn't check his phone; he simply walked around the block. When he returned, the space felt completely different. He hadn't changed the kitchen table, but he had successfully created an invisible fence between his professional self and his human self. Crossing that physical boundary was the only way to validate the emotional one.

😊 😐 😰 😵
