Do You Need A Break? Back from my break and what I learned

In my last blog post many people had recommended that I take a break in my work. So, I did. Here is what I accomplished/did over the course of my break

What My Schedule has Looked Liked: Over the days of my break my schedule was less demanding and more relaxing. Everyday I would do my homework, read, and exercise. Those were truly the only tasks that I had on my schedule each day. I had a lot of time left over which was great and I spent most of it either sleeping or watching YouTube videos. It feels great to be able to get back into this knowing that their is no rush. With a steady pace and a great attitude everything will workout.

What I Learned: I'm not going to lie before I took my break I was a little hesitant. I thought that having a break wouldn't do anything but make me stressed when I returned. Either way I decided that taking a break was the right move. Over the break I learned many new theories and tricks/tips on entrepreneurship. Today is the end of my break and I feel as though it is a great time to get back into it. I learned that sometimes a break may be more needed than you think.

What I Accomplished/Gained: The most noticeable accomplishment gained from my break was the increase in my writing skills. My writing skills seem to have become just a bit better. This could be a result of me spending much of my free time reading as well as writing summaries on what I read.

Do You Need A Break? I don't know what your current circumstances may be, but what I do know is that if you feel stressed or overwhelmed I would highly recommend taking a break. The main benefit I noticed that I received (behind my writing skills improving) would be an all around better mindset. I have a much better mindset returning to WA than I did when I left. I went from a little stressed to not stressed at all. I believe that the time invested into the break has already payed itself off and will continue to do so in the future.

Overall, I am very satisfied that I took the communities advice and took a break. What I learned and gained over the break will forever be remembered and I can not thank the community here at WA enough.
