Hold That Thought

Anonymous asked: TAKE A BREAK. YOU DESERVE IT.

Oh my goodness, so many things I could say to this one.

But first off: Anon? Not even, I know exactly who this is, haha.  But thanks for the advice, “anon.”

I really have a few thoughts on these particular statements.  There’s so many quotes on it already, though, so I don’t quite know where to start.  

But this advice is so, so true.  Sometimes, you really do deserve a bit of a break.  Everyone’s human, and we can only push ourselves so far.  Know your limits; don’t test them.  Because there will be the day when you bite off more than you can chew, and suddenly find yourself exhausted, stressed, cranky, and over-worked.  

Sometimes, you really do have to take a step back, take a deep breath, and remind yourself of who you are and who you want to be.  Working so much is nice, but there has to be a point in time when you can kick back, relax, and remember that sitting and breathing some fresh air is just as productive as working on something else.

But, this break can’t last forever.  Everything in moderation, right?  Because there could be that point where you relax too much and you suddenly find yourself struggling to keep up.

It’s a tricky business, balancing relaxation and work.

But all I’m really trying to say is to not kill yourselves through overwork.

We all deserve a break sometimes, right?

Haha, such a long response.
