Balanced Living — Taking a Break is Good for ALL of Us!

I have been away from writing blog posts for a while.

I battled a summer cold that I worried might be Covid, and then realized that it is important for our well-being to take breaks from technology, work and even interests and hobbies.

I post on Steemit for fun (and occasionally to pass along experiences and wisdom) and I recognize that I want it to remain fun and not start feeling too much like an obligation or work. Knowing myself, I also know that if I try to force myself to do something when it's feeling like too much I'm soon enough going to end up in a mental space where I want to just abandon what I am doing completely.

Even when we are really enjoying ourselves — doing a hobby, perhaps — we need to step away from what we're doing and take some breaks.

You could even consider athletes and how they train. Part of their training regimes often include one or two days a week of either rest or just very light workouts.

I can't keep going, all the time.

I think it's an important thing to remember and keep in mind. That's particularly true here in the US where there's a tendency to associate the quality of your work with how many hours you put in at the workplace.

That's actually a very poor metric, and it certainly doesn't give any indication of actual productivity.

I'm not entirely sure whether I am completely "back" to blogging regularly, but the thought feels a little more interesting and appealing than it did, a few weeks back!

So, remember to take regular "technology breaks," even if you don't really feel like you need them!

Thanks for stopping by and Bright Blessings to all!
