When To Get Away
But when do I get away? When you are starting to be more frustrated and upset than not then it's time. When working becomes your idol then it's time. When your health take a turn for the worse then it's time. You have to do you own self inventory in order to answer these questions. I encourage you to step away for a bit to regain some energy and refocus if you are in this situation. I feel much better now that I did that and it is back to my work and continuing to live out my purpose. If this is you I hope you would do the same if for nothing else but for the sake of your sanity. Much love.
Wow thanks for this amazing post and reminder. Apart from going after all the good things of life, we should also ensure we have a good life and health. I just felt I should add this little tip.
There are some cardiovascular diseases around, like Stroke, and this actually doesn't start in a day. One must have been undergoing the risk factors over time, like excessive intake of cholesterol and saturated fat, excessive intake of raw salt, little or no exercise at all, Stress and excess intake of analgesics.
One must have also been experiencing sysptoms like anginal pectoris, perputation,Insomnia, numness of hands and feet, profuse sweating and constant dizziness. But when one doesn't take note and take care of all these, at the long-run, the end result is Stroke. And not only stroke, even artherioslerosis, coronary heart disease and heart-attack and so many others.
The simple preventive measures to all of these are Rest, Exercise and Diet.
Thanks for this beautiful post once again @humanearl

Definitely yes. From time to time you need to give yourself a full rest. I think that being away from the daily bustle, a person charges his inner energy. It is best to spend time in nature.
I like what I do, but sometimes it's worth distracting. I like what I do, but sometimes it's worth resting. Good and productive work should be accompanied by the same good rest. Otherwise, there is a risk of "burn out".
Yes it happened to me. It feels like you feel very tired and depressed. Hard work brings us to the critical point and after this there is this unpleasant feeling and the state from which it is difficult to get rid of. If you do not do anything with it, then apathy can develop to everything around you. Burnout is something that should be avoided. Sooner or later, many face this. I think that this is a serious problem for modern people. So sometimes it's better to stop and give yourself time to rest. Do not allow burnout to become a horny and permanent condition.
Work in moderation and do not forget about rest. And most important is a positive attitude.

The balance between overwork and rest is a think line. I think it's crazy how all this technology was supposed to make life easier. It has but at the same time it has caused more stress and worry.

Get that break, man. Can't go without a rest forever. Glad you were able to take some time away. Hopefully you're feeling better and are recharged for the work ahead.
Yeah, I've gotten burned out before. Like you, I enjoy getting into nature, and when I do, it resets me. I'm able to go back and do more than I could before because I've been refreshed.

I worked lately as a removal man but quit because of feeling burned out and because of back pain. I work now in opportunity jobs but main focus is on trying to establish myself as a graphicdesigner.
There are so many unbelivible good artists out there and sometimes it look very dark for me. But how you said? Fight for what you love right? :)

At some point of human life, we get burned out, and what should be done next is to escape for a bit or take a break. It's now left for individual to decide on how he/she should take a break.
This is very important because, this would prevent sudden break down (maybe physically or mentally) and at end one is refreshed to be more efficient and thinking is done better!
Please do take very good care of yourself and we trust you to find a way out our dear friend!

@humanearl, Absolutely brilliant philosophy discussion here. Peoples must require to working process for take money, happiness, satisfaction and wealth. We very tired with our busy working. We all need a little rest and relaxation once in awhile. And, more importantly, taking a break is a good thing. Some studies show that increased vacation time can actually boost your workplace productivity. Many people desperately pine for a vacation all year long, hoping to finally escape the stress of work. I met lot of foreign travelers in my country and ask them, why you travel around. I'm no surprise their answer. They want only stress free with see nature locations. In fact, Nature gives up massive opportunity to relax our busy mind.
I'm never love every aspect of your work. Decide how we will approach our job in a way that maximizes the time and energy that us expand on those tasks or goals.
Yep..seriously burned out with ma working before and currently as the same. When I burn out at work, I feel diminished, like a part of myself has gone into hiding.

I believe that rest in spurts can increase productivity. There's truth in that. We can't work forever non-stop.
Burnout is no fun at all. I wish for your recovery. Please get your mind and body some rest. I know the feeling.

It's true that we need a rest sometimes, better yet everyday. Take time to have a rest for a better health. Let's not abuse ourselves in the sense that we're overworking, over thinking, because if you do you'll be stressed out and worse you'll get sick. So better yet, have time to relax our mind and body in order for us to have a healthy living.

I get where you're coming from. I suffered from the same consequences when I was active a 's a freelance graphic designer. Everything was great, nice clients, great satisfaction rate etc but my creative mind was being exhausted. At those times I' d like to head to my grandparents (they live in nature) to relax and decompress.

Very good post @humanearl, your words can always be a very good motivation for the crowd. Whatever we do in this world must have a goal and always be optimistic in doing all that. Because to succeed it takes a very big struggle. In my opinion, most importantly, we must stay focused on one goal and never give up before we get all of it, despite having many challenges. If we stay focused on one goal, I'm sure we can get all that. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a wonderful day ... :)

Many people are unhappy with their work and their place in life. But this very job provides us with everything necessary and satisfies our needs. You have to believe that you will find your place in life, where you will be happy. Therefore, yes, I think everyone had such a feeling that he wanted to quit everything and just run away in an unknown direction.I did not have a feeling of scorching, but sometimes I'm overwhelmed from the inside.

Yes, we also need a break sometimes, don't just focus on one thing. Sometimes we need to relaxed our mind and recharged ourselves by going out, because this will help us keep our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual status healthier.

Nigeria @humanearl.
Another one happened again, 110 girls were kidnapped from a boarding school. The girls were kidnapped with nothing with but the same terrorist returned all the girls and they came back with luggage.
Now I wonder, were the girls really kidnapped or they went on Excursion. It was rumoured that the government paid £20 million for their release. Another lie to siphon tax payers money. I wish to leave this country and start a new life somewhere else. Away from this
