In this busy world, how do you break away from the hustle and recharge?

That happens to me as well. I can disconnect from the demands and worries of the world around me, just to get immersed right back into it the second I step foot back in an environment that requires more from me. And I’m actually okay with that because I had a genuine breather away to recharge enough to deal with the chaos again. I understand that the recharge has its time as well as the 90 to nothing does. My method of recharging varies though. It comes by way of whatever my heart desires in that time allotted to me. I dive into it knowing that the second I walk through the doors of work the breather is over as I shift gears to be who I need to be to get everything done on a level that makes me feel good about my performance. I will say that when I’m deep into it at work I constantly have music playing in my head to keep me from getting too consumed by it that my anxiety gets triggered…plus it helps to motivate me even more while keeping me grounded to that place of zen within.

Definitely taking vacations from work. If not possible, having a good night of sleep already helps. I’m talking getting 8-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

I don't have much free time, so when I do, it helps to remove myself from my surroundings for a bit, and go out for a cup of coffee. I go down to the local Quick Chek, relax with some soup and coffee, and enjoy the music and the company of my fellow regulars. Sometimes I'll watch something uplifting on my phone while I eat.

I hear accessing meditation can work to decompress at any moment if you get good at it. So being in a anxious moment or difficult, which are not calming, you deep breathe and focus on a few things in your immediate vicinity. Like maybe you smell coffee ..so you think of and observe that scent in and out. Or you see a blue painting..you zoom in on every aspect of blue and it becomes a calming dynamic.
I myself will try to think..in 2 hours..I can...do such and such. Or in just 4 hours I can ..this or that. It gets me through a bit better.

@WatchThis Consider that if you burn out or you suffer ill-health mentally from your goal-which may be a bit too extreme-all of this will mean nothing. You can only give so much to people. Most all have no boundaries on what they will take. It is like adding water to a bucket with a hole in it. Mind you take great care of you. Your family needs you there. No amount of a paid-off house matters to them. Many men your age overwork. They feel such a responsibility. And that is a burden. Consider what I have said. And choose wisely. I have a feeling you know what is a priority in life. You are. And that is right.

So relatable.
I try to go camping a few times a summer somewhere where there's no cell signal and I have a forced tech break.

Finding balance is the key. It takes decades for many. I like lidteni g to mudic. I ding. I dance. Find the things that fill your heart with passion. Do more of those. The goal is to create a life you do not need to run away from. I too enjoy working alone. My RN career peopled me out. My current job? During it, I can fo most of my passions. So the long hours are filled with good. I hope this helps.

Meditation, going for walks, breath work, Pilates, taking a day off from work, blocking my calendar so I can focus, making sure to plan a weekend or at least one day with nothing on the calendar. It’s hard, but life shouldn’t be this grind we make it. I try to find joy whenever I can.

I just take take the lazy parts of the busy world !!
😜
As for stress and hustle, I swim against the tide, keep my requirements simple and low, share my thoughts & feelings with friends who understand me, and go for walks, tour the hills & seaside, read books, and look at my limitations, enjoy fun & jokes.

I was rarely in the busy part of the world.. but then I'm a slacker 😅 gotta work hard to have a nice life.. out there..

I understand drinking since I started drinking again 🥃

Drawing completely shuts off my mind, which is precious. I also like to learn new things that are hard for me so I have to concentrate. I don’t think a break is enough. I need to love what I’m doing with it.

I struggled with this for a long time. Its a mindset change.. ultimately find a way to make more money in less time and work less. Be comfortable with making less money too.

Prioritize yourself..

i am facing the same problem. i am always tired. everything seems like a chore

My world isn't really busy or a hustle. I've made sacrifices to make sure it's not. I would love to be a high performer but it would literally kill me lol. Not worth it 🤷🏾‍♀.

By taking long bear naps.

On a serious note, no, I constantly grind 14-16 hours a day. Do I like it? Some parts of it but hey, can’t complain in this sort of economy.

A good night of sleep makes it all better. Then have a good cup of coffee or a coke! All will be well then. 😉

go fishing, on a river, or lake, its very relaxing

I like to read History or go swimming 🙂🙂🙂

Going on a people detox

My world isn't busy at all. 😅

I hear that for sure

lower your expectations
