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

I find that even when I do take breaks, the effect is gone as soon as I hit the grind again. It’s like a nagging desire to just stop and surrender.

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.

@acupaday part of my job is traveling a couple of hours away and working alone. I keep tunes on and during the fun jobs, it’s a legit break for me from the all my burdens. I’m fortunate in that

Sometimes, I’m convinced what I love most about my job is the alone time. It’s physically demanding work though. The tough days wear me out

I just gotta find a way to stay disconnected, once I get my mind in that mode
