Breaks: Luxuries or a necessity?
Redefining rest in the hustle culture
Hello dear friend.
Unpopular opinion: Take a break when you feel like it, don't wait to *deserve* a break.
In this era of "You snooze, you lose," it's easy to glorify hustle and look down upon breaks as wastes of time.
But here's how breaks can help you:
You get a chance to spend some time with yourself, re-evaluate, and reset your priorities.
You get in touch with the WHY of starting what you started.
You reconnect with the sense of purpose that's been pushing you for so long.
You get clarity on how to make intentional changes in life to get to where you want to be in the next few years.
Breaks aren't a luxury. They're a necessity.
What you do during the break also determines how effective it will be.
Scrolling through social media or watching a movie might give you a dopamine rush in the short-term, but won't have any life-altering impacts.
Here's how to have productive breaks:
Disconnect from the digital world.
Journal your dreams, priorities, and achievements.
Work on a hobby you loved as a child.
Sleep.
Visit a place that inspires you.
