Good afternoon everyone. I'm new to the community looking to change my life/reality completely as Im currently living some harsh times. Recently started practicing The Gateway Process and meditation. I'm open to suggestions and counseling to achieve peace, joy and better life and health experiences. God bless everyone.

I used to believe in endless hustle culture, endless work, endless things to do, endless stress, pressure, and deadlines. I only realised pretty lately how much of a mistake that really was. You see, having time off, having a break, if you're on the verge of burnout, if you've worked hard, if you really truly need the break, it's totally fine. A lot of people think that they're falling behind or that if they take a break away from work, whether that be their job, their business, what have you, it can actually be the most productive thing you can do, especially if you can outsource your business tasks while you take a break as I do. Why it is productive to have scheduled breaks: 1. Ideas Whenever I take a break, which is not often. I'll be honest, I just get so many good ideas for content creation, things to add to my product, ways to get clients and etc. Whenever you're away from it, it really starts to come up in your mind and you get really great ideas here, especially if in that time you basically do nothing and you stare at a wall. That's just a weird specific thing that I've always done that really helps. 2. Resets Your Motivation / Drive Highly Whenever I take these time-off seasons, I just always, always, after a few days, I'm like, "I miss my work." I kinda miss just stacking up momentum, making money, and helping people as much as possible. That's a good thing; that's a really good thing cause success is fun. Whenever you come back, you have more drive and it's more enjoyable. That's ideal, that's perfect. 3. Your Nervous System Will Thank You If you listen to your intuition, take action on that, and you take the time off, then you will undeniably regulate your nervous system more. The nervous system just controls everything in our lives essentially. If you can improve this, think of that as a 1% improvement in everything: your health, relationships, money, whatever, because it's very true that whenever you have a regulated nervous system, your life goes up.
