Why are breaks so elusive anyway? | Take A Break Ep. 232

from The Daily Disturbance · host Anthony Pangilinan

“Taking a break can lead to breakthroughs.” ― Russell Eric Dobda But that’s not common thinking. We overglorify action, we look up to people who seize opportunities, and we put a premium on those who are ahead…So we think that taking breaks downplays action, implies passing up on opportunities, leads to ordinary people who are not as “advanced” as those who are up front. Can we rethink that today?

Why are bricks so elusive anyway? Taking a break can lead to breakthroughs Russell Eric Donda, so I was competing in this triathlon I was eyeing one particular person. I knew I was in the same age category with we practically finished the swim leg and the bike ride Together then we started to run and as we ran the first kilometer together. I noticed he started to walk Yes, I said all right.

I had no plans of walking at all. I'm gonna beat this guy I was so happy to thought that in this Iron Man 70.3 race. I beat him to the finish line Well until halfway through the run By that time I thought I would have left him behind But he was still with me and at times even in front of me It was only later that I realized his run walk approach was actually a strategy It's like a work hard take a break approach, right? Then work hard again, and it worked.

Let me beat me I'll say it again from Russell Eric Donda taking a break can lead to breakthroughs, but why are they so elusive? Why? You know why I think so? It's because we over glorify action We look up to people who sees opportunities We put a premium on those who are up ahead, right and taking breaks down play the action They tend to imply that we are passing up on opportunities and and We look down on those who are not advanced compared to those up front But I said I used to argue about me going out on my own or spending time on a trip by myself until she realized it actually made me a better person and And a more joyful husband, right by being by myself from time to time Still why are breaks elusive because we also pressure each other when we fear being set aside Due to someone deer taking a break like a break from us That is fear-based You were leaving me behind you know all that drama in the evil one of our ideas apart in this case We may not be avoiding the break, but we could be pressuring someone else from taking a break themselves Not a few bosses I know act as if every break their employees take is a loss to the business, but you look at Their own lives these bosses lives they have health issues family connection problems a life that people who know them will not hope for Others live balanced lives these bosses, but unfortunately at the cost of everyone else's But but but even if it has been elusive Insist on having a self check and ask yourself if it is a time for a break as I mentioned yesterday breaks lead to what?

Less stress higher quality work, and it prevents longer-term burnouts that will require much to recover from Here are some signs you need to take a break eating problems is that happening negativity towards work in ability to focus How about this one frequency of sickness? Here you go consistent tiredness and even tiredness leading to tirediness It is ability whoo towards people closest to you at home in the workplace free more poor performance at work sleep issues and Finally unhealthy coping measures like abuse of alcohol sleep medication an extended time right on online entertainment But do fight for it my friend breaks as already stressed and I will repeat lead to less stress higher quality work including increased creativity and the power to retain information and ideas and Again, it prevents longer-term personal damage that will require so much to recover from if recovery is even possible You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast Because they trust in you. I say it when it's six verse three Steadfastness as this verse implies is a key to being in perfect peace To be steadfast means to keep still and if you're moving to quit Accelerating again and again and just stay the course and if you're too overwhelmed to step back To take a break and allow yourself to refocus on him Who ultimately is most trustworthy now stop listening take a break. I'm done
