How to take a break by street smart

"no matter how busy you are at work, home, or at other life responsibilities, see to it that you take a break every once in a while. "

How I did it: sometimes, work gets into my system, draining my energy and enthusiasm to do other things aside from work.

with this, i promise myself that i will take a break every three months. i intend to go on vacation, where i can escape the stress and worries of my life at work and at home.

in the span of 6 months, i've been to two places that are in my list of must-see destinations before i reach my 30 years. my latest three-day vacation was just two weeks ago.  

Lessons & tips: chill and take a break. plan a trip or a vacation. have something to look forward to after hellish hours, days, and months of working. besides, being able to afford to do the things you always wanted to do is among the many reasons why we are working hard in our professions in the first place. so go out, relax, and see the world with your hard earned money.

Resources: months of planning for your trip will help you avoid unnecessary hassles and worries.

    Cutting myself some slack 9 months ago

    I’m finally giving myself a break.
    I’m no longer to blame for everything that goes wrong, or went wrong or is wrong.
    It’s ok to make mistakes and be human. God loves me this way and so will I.

    I swear I have let go of so much.

    The Lord is willing, so why fight it? <3

    A long break 10 months ago

    I wish I could run away.

    I’m lonely.
    I need to pray, God is the only one who understands me.

    I need a break, I need to get a handle on things.. 10 months ago

    God bless my aunt! Wish she wasn’t over 2,000 miles away :(

    Ever wonder about the abbreviation A.S.A.P.? Generally we think of it in terms of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to deal with those rough days along the way.

    There’s work to do, deadlines to meet;
    You’ve got no time to spare,
    But as you hurry and scurry-
    ASAP – ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER

    In the midst of family chaos,
    ‘Quality time’ is rare.
    Do your best; let God do the rest-
    ASAP – ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.

    It may seem like your worries
    Are more than you can bear.
    Slow down and take a breather-
    ASAP – ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER

    God knows how stressful life is;
    He wants to ease our cares,
    And He’ll respond to all your needs
    A.S.A.P. – ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.

    Starting Up Again 13 months ago

    Well, I had a good break. Feeling better, got some writing done, time to get busy again. Not busy stressful, but busy doing stuff I love. I’ve promised myself that I won’t take on as much as I did last year … or the year before. Its not healthy and it doesn’t make me happy.

    I want to be able to enjoy my time, not feel like I can’t because I have too much to do.

    Slowing Down 13 months ago

    Its my second week after surgery, and while I feel a lot better, I still feel pretty tired. My first instinct is to feel guilty for not being able to really do anything. But I’m beginning to see how backward that logic is. My body has basically forced me to slow down and focus on caring for myself. I’m not going to rush my recovery. I’m just going to let my body build up on its own and do my best to rest.

    took a week off work at xmas 23 months ago

    It was actually very difficult. I felt a little stir crazy being at home with kids and family, but it was very important. I do need more practice at taking vacations, after almost 2 years w/o one. So, it’s something to work on, but I do feel like I got my much needed break!
