Do you have any of these characteristics? If so, please take a break and stop staying up
In this fast-paced modern society, we always seem to be on the go and moving forward under pressure. However, when the body and mind send signals of exhaustion, we often choose to ignore them and continue to hold on. But dear friends, when you exhibit these characteristics, be sure to stop and give yourself a respite.
When you find yourself having trouble concentrating, being easily distracted and being inefficient while working or studying, it may be your body alerting you that you need to take a break. What could have been an easy task has become difficult, and my mind is like a mess, and I can't figure it out. It's not because you're incompetent, it's because overwork has deprived the brain of the ability to think clearly.
Or, your emotions have become unusually sensitive and unstable. The slightest little thing can make you furious, or inexplicably frustrated and lost. You used to be optimistic and cheerful, but now you are always shrouded in negative emotions. It's the mind telling you that it's been under too much stress and needs time to recover and adjust.
Also, when sleep is no longer a pleasure, but a nuisance. Lying in bed tossing and turning, having trouble falling asleep, or waking up from dreams even when you fall asleep, waking up tired and tired. It's the body protesting, and it's craving plenty of rest to recuperate.
When the body also begins to experience various discomforts, such as frequent headaches, shoulder and neck pain, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc., it is a clear reminder that you can't go on like this anymore.
My friend Xiao Li is a typical example. He works for an Internet company and always works overtime in order to pursue career success. At first, he was able to cope with the intensity of work with the energy and enthusiasm of young people. But gradually, he began to have a lack of concentration and made frequent mistakes at work. His temper also became more and more irritable, and his relationships with colleagues and family became strained. At night, he often suffers from insomnia and during the day he is depressed. Eventually, the body was overwhelmed and he fell ill. It was only in the hospital bed that he realized how stupid he had been overexerting his body.
We are always striving for more achievement, more wealth, and higher status, but we often lose sight of the most important thing – health. Without a healthy body and mind, all achievements will be meaningless.
When you show these traits, don't hesitate anymore and stop making excuses for yourself. Put down the work at hand and give yourself a vacation. You can go to a quiet place, listen to the birdsong, smell the flowers, and feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. You can also meet up with friends, get together, chat about your heart, and share each other's happiness and troubles. Or just stay at home, make a hot cup of tea, read a favorite book, and relax your body and mind.
Resting doesn't mean giving up on hard work, it's about getting off to a better start. Just like a car, it needs regular maintenance and refueling to run farther and more stable. The same is true for our bodies and minds, which can only have enough energy to cope with life's challenges when we are well rested and nourished.
At the same time, we must also learn to arrange our time reasonably in our daily lives to avoid overwork. Don't take work and stress home with you, and give yourself some exclusive relaxation time. Develop good lifestyle habits, get enough sleep, eat a reasonable diet and exercise moderately.
Dear friends, life is a long journey, don't miss the scenery along the way because of a momentary rush. When you feel tired, remember to say to yourself, "Hurry up and give yourself a break, don't stay up." Take care of yourself
