Take breaks when you need them from "summary" of Calm the F*ck Down by Sarah Knight
When you feel overwhelmed, stressed, or just plain exhausted, it's essential to recognize that you need a break. Taking breaks isn't a sign of weakness or laziness; it's a crucial self-care practice that can help you recharge and rejuvenate. Pushing yourself to the brink of burnout is not productive or sustainable in the long run. By listening to your body and mind when they're telling you it's time to take a breather, you can prevent reaching a breaking point. Ignoring your need for a break can lead to decreased productivity, increased stress, and even physical and mental health issues. It's not worth sacrificing your well-being for the sake of powering through without stopping. Taking breaks doesn't mean you're shirking your responsibilities or letting others down. It shows that you value yourself enough to prioritize your health and happiness. Whether it's a five-minute walk outside, a quick meditation session, or a longer break to do something you enjoy, giving yourself permission to step away from work or stressful situations is essential for maintaining balance in your life. Remember that taking breaks isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. Just as you wouldn't expect your phone to run continuously without recharging, you can't expect yourself to keep going without rest. By incorporating regular breaks into your routine, you can actually boost your productivity, creativity, and overall well-being. So, the next time you start feeling overwhelmed or rundown, don't hesitate to give yourself permission to take a break. It's not selfish; it's self-preservation. Your mind and body will thank you for it in the long run.
