It's okay to stop for a few minutes a day.

I'll be honest here. I have a two pages of a notebook with ideas of what to write but sometimes I'm really just not feeling it. You know those days where your work, responsibilities and day to day life is the only thing keeping you from spending the day in bed with snack and Netflix. The days where you'd just like to be alone but that's not really possible.

I think we all have those days. I tend to pin mine to one of two things. The first is physical exhaustion . A busy few days has really tired you and you really need a day off. The other is just a down day. Your mental health for whatever reason is at peak and that's 100% okay. It's the one things  most humans have in common. Down days happen with or without reason and sometimes you can't pinpoint why your not feeling 100% and that's okay too.

I'm a firm believer that you should pay attention to those days, seriously listen to your body and try to figure out what it's looking for, if anything and if it's not then just take a day. Your mental health is as important and your physical health. Your brain need time off too occasionally and that really is okay.

It's good actually to just stop sometimes, look away from whatever you're working on and just breath.

If fact, I'll make that today's task...

If you feel yourself getting stressed, anxious or angry (any negate emotion) just stop, sit down, put your hands in you lap, close your eyes and take three long, slow deep breaths.

Trust me, it'll help.
Enjoy the peace and quiet sometimes.

Cheers
