Refresh and renew
So how do you take a break ? Every day that comes brings with it new challenges and adventures as well. This is the way you map your life whether it is for pleasure or business.
We often get carried away with our thoughts and forget we are a machine that needs to be maintained as much as a piece of office equipment we work with or a vehicle for transport. Our bodies and minds require rest and stimulation as well for the renewal process.
We can get fatigued physically and mentally. Just as any machine gets overheated and worn by friction, we often need a rest period. Our renewal settings can be a gym or outdoor excursion for physical renewal and a library or study for mental and spiritual remediation.
The guidelines suggest the randomness of having no set plan. This introduces the refreshing effect of unprogrammed variety into our habit patterns. When we have the physical ability to participate in a biathlon or triathlon it creates a supercharging effect.
The same rationale applies to having different sets of exercise equipment each calibrated differently for varied effort. Much of this is arrayed by different weights or distance of reach.
Likewise different sections in a library or different media formats will introduce different sets of mental stimulation. M<uchdepends on the pace you set. But tidsis the best way to renew yourself and your business!

Great advices!
To take a break is necessary to not become
demotivated by tiring too quickly.
Have a great day!

Thanks for sharing MIke. My chin is way up there. I do all 5 of the above. I am a spontaneous Personal Trainer who easily does 3 things I love every day( 5 mile run with my dogs, cook, listen to music) and try to learn something new every day. (easy here at WA, lol) One 15 minute break for every 45 minutes on my WA training and sites. There you go. 5 for 5!

Good points! I like to work out after lunch settles, then I don't get mid-afternoon tiredness. I also stretch at least every 20-30 minutes for 5 minutes then do a simple task and then perhaps a phone call or read something different concerning business, but not WA. All help me mix the day up. As the weather gets nice i may take a break and go for a walk.
The flexibility we have in this business is very great!
Breaks can come in many forms for me. They can be sitting on the patio looking at beautiful clouds, stars, birds, or flowers; calling a friend; going for a walk or working out; listening to music; running errands; playing with pets; doing the opposite of what I might normally do, etc. The key is that a brain break is refreshing, so I come back to the computer with a fresh perspective and more ideas.
Thanks for the post, Mike! Have a nice weekend doing something fun and different. :)

So true Mike it can be so easy to get overfocused and forget to come up for air. Creating that balance should be front and center, thank you for the reminder.
What you say is so true I rest watching TV and for my brain exercise I play Quiz on messenger. That and researching for my posts on my website. I need a get more physical exercise, maybe now that Spring has finally arrived I will get more of that. Good written article and please like my comments, thanks Sruffey.
You're absolutely correct my friends we all need that I get my rest. From lifting weights and exercising it refreshes me when I don't do that I meditate and it gets me a new lease on life that day thank you for sharing may you have a beautiful weekend and may Prosperity always be with you
