Have you ever felt burnt out & unmotivated to do the work or task in front of you? Have there been days when you know you should take a break from work, hanging with people, partying etc but yet you dismiss it and keep on going? Have there been moments when you told yourself “I need some me time” but yet you never find a way to make the time?

Today I want to talk about the importance of taking breaks and how they’re crucial to our wellbeing. Although we may feel like we’re taking 2 steps back by slowing down, in actuality when we rest, reset & recharge we come back refreshed & are able to make massive leaps forward.

Two major benefits of taking breaks

• (1) Space Allows for reflection : By doing so, we can assess if we’re headed down the right path or if maybe we should switch things up a bit.
• (2) Regain Momentum & Inspiration : By the time we’re ready to jump back in, we’re off to the races and ready to go because we’re reenergized & excited to get back to it.

 

Challenge for the listeners

Ask yourself today, do you give yourself permission to take breaks when necessary? If no, consider how doing so may actually benefit you as we discussed today.

Questions from The BMC

• Emily : Does waking up early (6am) vs sleeping later (9am) impact well-being?
• Hagen : Active rest > static rest, from a physiological standpoint you want to get the blood moving
• Jordan Tarver : Taking breaks to self-reflect
