Take breaks to prevent overwhelm from "summary" of The Overthinking Cure by Nick Trenton
When facing a situation that seems insurmountable, it can be tempting to push through and keep going until the task is complete. However, this approach can often lead to overwhelm, stress, and burnout. In order to prevent this from happening, it is important to take breaks when needed. Taking breaks allows your brain to rest and recharge, which can help improve focus, productivity, and overall well-being. When you push yourself too hard for too long, you run the risk of diminishing returns - your work may suffer, and you may find yourself feeling even more overwhelmed than before. By taking breaks regularly, you give yourself the opportunity to step back, assess the situation, and come back with a fresh perspective. This can help you see things more clearly, make better decisions, and ultimately feel more in control of the situation. It is important to listen to your body and mind and recognize when you need a break. This could be a short walk outside, a quick meditation session, or simply a few minutes of deep breathing. Find what works best for you and make it a priority to incorporate regular breaks into your routine.
