Taking a break from anything is a good thing

Sometimes there are days that we feel we just needed a break, right? RIGHT! While most of us takes a break only when we are tired because we’ve been overdoing work, household stuff or social events, we feel it is equally more important that we should take a break from something.
Last week, I was coaching my staff to fix a problem and already stated the solution on how to get things right several times but I stopped and asked myself, why would I keep telling these people over and over again if they never really follow what I say? Why would I keep doing it on and on? Sometimes it’s not easy to stop being helpful but it’s driving me really crazy.
Another reason is that, everytime I have something interestingly to write about, my connection becomes totally crappy. Just the other day, I had these thoughts running in my head and I started to memorize the exact piece, hit the power button on, opened the Mac sidenote but eventually, the words didn’t come out.
Lately, I’ve been going online late at night when a friend rang up and asked me to open my chat box. I have the desire to keep myself invisible if I’m checking my emails but it doesn’t necessarily mean I was ignoring the person’s presence. When I finally turned myself visible, I was accused that I was avoiding a conversation. So what I do is decide to having a courteous talk but instead ended up staying very late.
I have these goals on things that gets put on my list every year but I don’t seem to do anything about it. It’s not that hard but what if I don’t follow it? Can I just take it off my list and let it go? It’s like a black cloud looming over my head feeling so confident to keep seeing it there. Would it be best if I just wait until I am truly ready and excited to go for it? Sometimes you think you can’t force a solution to a situation and perhaps the easiest way is just to actually create a space and let the answers find me later.
Isn’t that a great thing that our brain needs a long rest sometimes? I know that it’s good to let your mind wander but it’s not so easy to have a snap of something to do or say just to write about a five hundred to a thousand words. If you’re thinking too hard just to be able to come up a fresh entry in your blog, it won’t necessarily gonna happen (it’s the reason why I can’t even write a decent one).
But how do you know when to stop thinking? Sometimes taking a break from anything is a good thing.
