While there is definitely virtue in working, there's equal virtue in resting and pausing.

Regularly.

Don't wait for the end of the day to pause.

Don't wait for the weekend to relax.

Don't wait for the holidays to rest.

I challenge you to take 3-5 min breaks throughout the day (every hour if possible) and:

Breathe in and out deeply
Stretch your entire body
Drink water
Relax your jaw
Close your eyes
Get some fresh air
Splash your face with water
Go for a walk

The point is to stop working and thinking about work, to take care of yourself, be in the present moment and let go of external distractions for a few minutes.

If needed, use a timer or any kind of reminder to create the habit.

Remember, your performance & health depend on your ability to recover quickly !
