150 Importance Of Taking A Break In Life

You can do anything, but not everything at once, so learn to give yourself breaks when you need them the most. Taking a break increases focus when I return to work, thus improving my productivity. Additionally, taking breaks relieves any stress, which helps our mental health and well-being. These factors contribute to increased life satisfaction and are essential to living an epic life. 

What does taking a break look like? It can look like alot of different forms:

1. Unplug and reset. Shut down electronic distractions. Get away from notifications and emails and spend some time in the real world or in your own mind.
2. Being aware. Lamens terms Quiet the monkey. Doing too many things at once you become restlessly jumping around or you are on autopilot. Take some quiet time to be aware of your thoughts. Re-focus and bring your subconscious mind into the conscious mind. 
3. Take a vacation. Take time to clear your mind and de-stress by doing something or going somewhere that brings you joy that relaxes you. A vacation can help you restore, regroup, and reassess.
4. Learn something new. Doing the same things over and over again every day can become daunting or boring. Try something new and get a hobby that has absolutely nothing to do with your work, best to be the complete polar opposite of what you do for work. 
5. Create something. Build or paint or draw, put together a jigsaw puzzle. Do some of the things you normally wouldn’t do because you never have the time but now you can set a time to complete this project. 

6.Take a break from the news. The news is often filled with all kinds of depressing information. 

7. Eat all your meals without rushing. Intentionally eat every meal slowly, mindfully, gratefully, and gracefully savoring every single bite.
8. Worrying. Give yourself a break from worrying. The truth is, worry is a waste of time: It saps your energy, and it doesn’t make anything better.  Quote: 
9. Change up the scenery. Take a drive, leave town, fly somewhere new. Give yourself a chance to explore your surroundings and yourself.
10. Remove yourself from negative people. Even if it means those you love–you can always re-engage tomorrow.

I Stand For Taking A Break Whenever You Want, I stand for taking a sabbatical to experience life. I also stand for: 

• Calm, compassionate & confident
• Slowing down to accomplish more
• Start before your feel ready
• *Give yourself the sign (look for signs)
• Take Imperfect Action (imperfection is perfection) 
• Uncertainty is the only true certainty 
• Making money should be a byproduct of what you love to do 
• Making fast decisions 
• Simple wins 
• First step is to make a firm decision, 2nd step is to believe your decision, 3rd step is to take action, 
• Fun is a priority 
• Attending to all non-negotiables before work

Stand Against: 

• Having to be loud or aggressive to be compassionate & confident
• Hustling & burnout
• Waiting until everything is perfect 
• Making more money (doing something you don’t love) 
• Making millions and can’t sleep at night
