Taking a Break Is Good for Everyone

When our bodies get exhausted, they let us know.

We might feel lethargic and even a little bit queasy.

The best thing to do when that happens is to take a break.

Getting a change of scene can do wonders for our minds and bodies.

A detour from routine refreshes.

The same goes for our minds.

When we stuff our heads with too much information, a lot of it negative, while living daily life, which is stressful in itself, we can also feel taxed.

Again, a change of scene and adding a bit of rest are effective.

That's what I did this week---had a change from routine and gave my body lots of rest and relaxation.

I went five days without going on Facebook.

In addition, I even took a break from something close to my heart, blogging!

Despite missing my beloved blog peeps a lot, I resisted all attempts to tune in.

Spent four days away from home in a lovely vacation spot.

The final analysis of this experiment?

Feeling refreshed and ready to start writing again.

HOW DO YOU RELAX?
