Inspired by a fifth-century conversation between Zi Zhang and Confucius about the practices of wise rulers in The Analects, here are five excellent practices for those taking time out from jobs and careers. Even those who have no sabbatical in sight can cultivate a sabbatical mindset using these best practices.
- Practice the arts of attention and listening.
- Practice renewing yourself every day.
- Practice meandering toward the center of every place.
- Practice the rituals of reading and writing.
- Practice allowing part of your day to unfold.
