How to Take a Break


Knowing when to take a break is important, but a lot pf people don’t know how to take a break.   Some would say that surfing the internet for a few minutes between articles will do the trick.  Others profess that getting up and going for a walk fills the time nicely.  While these ideas may seem on track, that’s not entirely the case.

A break is defined in several ways, but the one we’re going to focus on is:

A pause or interval, as from work.

It’s important to remember that you really do need to press the “pause” button when you take a break.  That means if you work on a computer all day, you should get and get away from it during the break.  If you work inside, go outside.  If you work in solitude, find interaction of some sort.  A break should not only be that interval you take to get away from your work, but give you a chance to break the pattern you have while working.
How you take your break is just as important as when.  Do it right and you’ll come back recharged every time.
