Give yourself a break – take a vacation
I have a theory that once we complete high school, time begins to move faster. My sister, (with a PhD behind her), tends to agree with me on this. Her view is that it has something to do with the earth getting closer to the sun or something along those lines. As a result, there are only 40 minutes available in every hour…
I developed my theory when I noticed that as kids it used to take forever before the commencement of the summer vacation, and it seemed like forever, before we started the vacation again.
Nowadays, we have hardly had time to recover from the previous summer vacation before we find ourselves once again facing another one. The summer vacation begins to resemble a kind of survival trip, between occupational war zones.
In essence, we have lost our ability to see the benefits and the importance of taking a break. Once we finish our formal schooling, our professional commitments seem to keep us totally pre-occupied and ‘busy’, the whole year through.
There seems to be no more time to relax, play or just do nothing like we did when we were kids during school vacation.
Let’s examine this concept of vacation. Have you ever noticed that your best ideas come out when you are in the shower? Or that you become increasingly insightful as each day of the vacation passes by?
This concept has relation as to which function of our brain we use.
