Are we embracing ‘breaks’ in our lives?

As we hit the months of April and May, I am sure quite a few of you would be reminiscing tales from your summer holidays. It was a cherished time when we stepped away from our daily routines of classes and extracurriculars, embracing a much needed break.

Reflecting on this transition from childhood to adulthood, there is an indirect relationship between adulthood and the number of breaks. Dedicated time for breaks reduces.

From extended summer vacations, we have grown to quick weekend getaways, and sometimes, just a fleeting half-day breather.

Breaks serve as essential pauses, allowing us to zoom out from the hustle of everyday life, offering valuable moments for reflection. As much as one loves what their work, one needs to hit the pause button to experience a mental blank state. This acts as a canvas for growth and flourishing.

When was the last time you hit pause?
Whether through meditation, journaling, or reconnecting with an old friend, these seemingly simple acts can spark profound introspection and renewal.

Take a pause today and see where it leads you.
