A Break = Good for You

When you decide to take a break, leave the guilt.
When we work harder and for longer amounts of time than usual anxiety and stress may start to build-up, and without warning, we may find ourselves in a state of restlessness.
For this reason, it’s very important to take conscious decisions to rest.
Rest can take different forms, such as taking a walk or stretching, staying in to watch a movie, meeting up with a friend for a cup of coffee, reading, or sleeping in for a few extra hours.
When you decide to take a break, leave the guilt.
Because when you take a break it has many benefits, so there should be nothing to feel guilty about!
Here are just 5 of the many benefits to taking a break:
1. Helps Memory
It has been shown that short, repeated sessions of work with breaks increase your concentration.
2. Energy booster
Resting can be useful to allow your body to recover. Power naps of 10-20 minutes can be a great way to feel revitalized.
3. Stress Reducer
Constant worry can lead to chronic stress. Taking breaks can relieve and reduce levels of stress.
4. Promotes Health
Rest and sleep have been shown to have a positive impact on your immune system, reduce inflammation and decrease the risk of heart disease.
5. Boosts Creativity
Next time you’re stuck, try to take a break, and do something different. Often when you’re back to your task, you might be able to find new ideas or solutions.
Take time for one and only wonderful you—
