Are you feeling stressed? Are you wondering how you are going to pay your bills? Are the kids driving you crazy? Is this starting to sound like an advertisement for a spa or vacation spot? But wait! You can’t afford those places. So what am I talking about?
I am talking about a “Sudoku Break”! A “Sudoku Break” is when you stop everything, go to your local coffee shop - not a Starbuck or Dunkin Donuts, pick a locally owned and operated shop; they are more comfortable - and take out your favorite Will Shortz or Frank Longo sudoku collection. Take along a sharp pencil with a good eraser. I don’t know about your home, but in my home I have a difficult time finding a pencil with a soft eraser on the end of it. You can use a pen if you are a real sudoku player. (Bring along some white out as well.)
What level of puzzle should you start with? If it has been a while since you’ve worked a sudoku puzzle, you may want to ease into it with an easy or moderate one. If you really want to beat a stubborn puzzle you have been working on, jump right in and start with that one. Either way, engage your brain and enjoy!
Once you have solved a few puzzles and have to return to your real world, your mind should be purged of your frustration. Your problems won’t be gone, but you can start over with a clear head. Hopefully, you’ll see something different and things will look better to you. Hey, I know sudoku is only a game. But one, it is a cheap game, and two, it has some definite mental health benefits. So why not take advantage of it?
Happy puzzling!
