This situation has reminded me of one extremely important rule: while working intensely, don’t forget to stand up, to stretch, to take a walk! It so happens that while working tirelessly to get tasks done we often tend to neglect the importance of caring for ourselves. We convince ourselves that stepping away for 10 minutes is a complete waste of time; but sometimes a quick breath outside is the best thing for re-gaining energies and focusing on work.
It was a 10 k walk, and at first, my mind was still very much focused on what I had been doing, on the picture I was editing, and on the many still remaining things to achieve. But with the passage of a little time of walking, the thoughts were slowly getting further away and I found myself only concentrating on my own breathing and steps on the ground. Simply walking started to be incredibly calming and refreshing for my mind.
As I continued walking and distance grew with every passing second, I could better grasp the importance of physical movement, and even more so to all people working in front of the computer for many, many hours at day. Standing and walking and stretching can only offer so much to our bodies, but it can provide so much more to our minds, it gives our minds space to breathe and to recalibrate themselves.
By the time I reached the 10-km mark, I was exhausted but so invigorated in my mind. I was truly content with the decision I took to go for the walk, instead of staying at the screen for the whole entire day.
Work hard, give it all, but never compromise your health. Make sure to stand up, walk, breathe and refresh yourself in the outside. Work can be sometimes very consuming, but in many cases stepping away from your desk can help you go back to it much fitter, more capable and clearer than never before. Take care of yourself and mind as you are very much linked to the success in everything you will do.
