Similarly, every organization has a
growth phase and a consolidation phase. In the growth phase we keep working
endlessly. But we need to, once in a way
take a break to review our work and growth, which is called the consolidation
phase, wherein, we view our own work very objectively to see where we have
reached. What else, what more and what next, we have to do to scale higher.
What we have been doing has brought us thus far. Now from here, where, is the
question. We have to reset our axis.
“Take a moment once in a while, pause to reflect breathe and smile.
Think happy thoughts and look around, feel the sun on your face and feet
on the ground.”
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
So, taking a break once in a way will refresh us. It will come as a breath of
fresh air. It will improve the quality of our work and also increase
productivity. Going out as a family on a short vacation builds relationships.
Even students should practice a 50minute hour during their study time. Every
50minutes they study, they should take a 10minute healthy break. It improves
focus, reduces stress, boosts your performance and creativity. If you feel
overworked, take a break. Reflect on it. Who knows, it may even lead to a
breakthrough. A sabbatical is a pause in someone’s career. Once in a while the
battery has to be discharged for the mobile to function optimally. So also, for
many of us, we need to recharge ourselves. Taking a break keeps us from living
life on auto pilot.
Work, for me, is my hobby. It is my
pep up pill. It energizes me. For me,
personally, taking a pause, is being with myself. Every morning I create time
to be in Silence. Shutting my senses helps me in many ways than one, to
energize, rejuvenate, reinvent & reveal me to me. Meditation is more of
being than doing. So just be. That is a pause in my life. Sometimes you just
need to take a pause to know the Purpose of your life.
