Mansoor Danish – Ep. 15 The Power of Taking Breaks

			Hi, everyone. Welcome back to another episode on the mind mastery series. Today we're going to talk
about the importance of giving break to our mind. And as we are moving in towards the year end, and
everyone is in the festive mode and in the new season mode, and planning to make a new start to
their life and loads of new year resolutions are being worked upon, at professional level. And at a
personal level as well. I'm here to share with you a very important piece of advice. Look, those of
you who are familiar with working out at the gym or doing exercises would know that it is the first
bit which is the most difficult where you have to motivate yourself, convince yourself to hit the
		

			gym. Now once you hit the gym, the initial days are difficult because you're trying to get used to
that regime. And once you start getting used to that regime, you start enjoying to see the changes
happen in you. When you see the physical changes in your body, you start feeling positive, there is
an emotional change as well, there's a there's a mental health improvement as well, which you
experience. All of this leads to more motivation and added motivation, which keeps pushing you to
the next level. But as you are moving to the next level, you are continuously straining your body.
And the more you are straining your body, there is always a chance of a wear and tear of the body.
		

			And that is why health experts will always tell you that you need to take a break once a week from
your gym routine, you need to also alternate between the upper part of the body and the lower part
of the body when you're exercising, so the days for the legs would be alternate. And the days for
the upper body would be the remainder of the days of the week. The idea behind this is that you
don't overstretch any portion of your body. And you also give yourself time to recover. If you
remember at the start of this video of the mind mastery series, we spoke about the mental gym, the
gym for the mind. And we said the gym for the mind is reading of books, exposing yourself to new
		

			techniques, learning and development, professional development, personal development, all of these
writing a book, for example, writing articles, sharing blogs, making these videos which are making
for example, they in a world, a lot of use of your brain as well. These are all strenuous exercises
for the brain, it's important that the brain is exposed to all of this, because that's how the brain
is also growing. That's how the brain is also remaining active. However, here is the caution. Don't
over stress your brain, sometimes you will see that a point will be reached where you will start
feeling fatigue coming in, you will not enjoy the same task that you were extremely motivated about
		

			a few months back. So you've been reading books, but now you don't feel like reading and you still
keep pushing yourself because you don't want to leave that practice of yours and you're not enjoying
it. You're not seeing any benefit. It's literally you've hit a wall, everything starts to comes to a
standstill. Why has this happened? This has happened because you've not given yourself those breaks
that is needed to rejuvenate yourself to re energize yourself. Your brain also needs rejuvenation,
your brain also needs to be re energized. So it's always good to plan your holidays in such a way
that they are spread out throughout the year so that you get these short breaks throughout the year,
		

			which allows you to recover which allows your brain to remain active as well and work to its full
capacity. I hope you're getting the message at the start of this new year. And as you are making
your plans for the next year 2024 It's extremely important that you take care of all of these in
your planning and strategy for 2024 I wish you all the best for the 2024 year and thank you so much
