A short lesson today – more of a reminder, actually.  

Here it is: taking a break is not a reward or a luxury or something you should do every once in a while. It’s none of those things. 

It’s something else. It’s essential. Critical. A basic need. Something that should be a government-backed, mandated, compulsory daily activity. 

There are 8760 hours in a year. So why do we feel guilty when taking a few of those precious hours for ourselves? 

We shouldn’t. You shouldn’t! So take a break, even if it’s for five minutes. You deserve it.
