Today I will discuss the importance of taking a break, or as some call it, time out!
After two burn outs, the last one ending up in a serious operation, I started to take heed of the fact that I was busy killing myself with constant work. No breaks at Papillon even on public holidays and weekends for the first 5 years took it's toll in the first burn out. Then after we recovered it was back to the grindstone until I faced death, as a main artery to my brain was suddenly blocked and a stroke would have done me in.
Btw. That's not me in the first photo, just a man taking a break with his friend.
They mention 6 reasons why we have to take breaks.
Here they are.
You'll Reset Yourself Mentally
You'll Feel Way More Productive When You Return
You'll Gain A Better Work/Life Balance
You'll Realize You Need To Stop Taking Work Home
You'll Rekindle Your Relationships
You'll Reset Your Focus
That's me in the picture above and I have changed my focus to become a child again 🤣 🤣 🤣
To start, you need to change your thinking. What’s the first thing that pops into your head when you think ‘vacation’? Chances are, it invokes thoughts of travel and a hotel stay, and perhaps a specific destination. The thing is, at its core, taking a vacation is simply taking time off away from and disconnected from work. It requires nothing more than turning off your phone and laptop and not doing any work.

I did not want to explain the importance of taking breaks in my own words, simply because I am not an authorized medical expert in it, but I trust that you will take this post to heart.
Stress created by constant business and worries is a killer and we all have to be aware of the dangers.
Heed the times and the dangers.
And That's All Friends!
