I do have to say it’s different from one person to the next in their needs and how they feel about it. Some people can never switch off from work and I that’s fine if they accept that and aren’t burning themselves out.
But you should never doubt or feel bad for actually taking the time to rest and recharge even if it amounts to actually not doing much. It’s part of the process and it’s natural.
Sooner or later if you don’t get enough rest your body will shut down for you and force it on you.
And yes you do sometimes have to just take away and let your mind rest if you feel that’s what you need but don’t feel bad if you need to do that ok?
Thank you! I'm not good at remembering that particularly during times of stress. Will take it easy and get some quality recharge time in!
