You Are Not A Machine - Take A Break

You are not a machine- please take a break. When you don’t give your mind a chance to pause and refresh, it doesn’t work as efficiently. You might also be more likely to experience burnout and the health problems that go hand-in-hand with chronic stress. This practice offers you the time and space to identify the areas in life where you are doing too much and supports you to take a break.

Being busy can feel and is sometimes seen as a badge of honour and so many of us define ourselves by what we do.

We get real validation from our identities particularly linked to work and productivity so we strive to overdo,

Overwork and overproduce and frankly in our culture words like rest and downtime can sound like dirty words.

Have you ever got stuck doing something or trying to work something out and thought you know what I just I need to take a break from this?

Have you ever got stuck taking a break and then come back to the task later only to solve it easily or find yourself doing something else and all of a sudden the answer comes to you?

That's no accident.

Our brains are like sponges.

They can only soak up so much information before they're completely saturated.

Your brain needs a rest regularly.

Downtime is important for your brain health.

In fact research has found that taking breaks can improve your mood,

Boost your performance and increase your ability to concentrate.

So there's a scientific basis to it too.
