Have you ever reached this point in your life when you simply need a break from something? It can be a break from anything. A hobby, the family, work… or just life in general…
In today’s world, everything just moves really fast, right? And taking a break might be a luxury for many. However, it is a necessary step we all need to take once in a while for our mental health.. and our physical health. Many times, I catch myself pondering over the importance of taking a break and most of the times it is because of my work schedule and the hectic nature of it.
Life conditions change every day for everybody and you find yourself having more responsibilities than before or work is just too much on certain days. That’s when you realize that you have little to no time for personal time, hobbies or even the simple act of unwinding from the day’s chaos.
The idea of a break is about stepping away from work. It’s about finding myrself again among all the obligations and deadlines. It’s about restoring the energy and regaining the creativity I have lost over time.
So to answer the question of whether I need a break, I will say that Yes. I am currently desperately in need of a break from work and life. I need to get away from it all and not just for the necessary rest but to ensure that I can continue to work effectively and live in happiness.
What about you? Do you need a break?
It can feel wrong, or one can feel guilty for taking a break from it all. But it absolutely necessary to surrender to the flow of life and stop trying to direct it all the time. There is a lot joy and relief in the letting go of it all for a little bit.
