How 90 days changed my life!

I am no stranger to taking breaks, an expert in breaking my own momentum when it just doesn't feel right; a disruptor with good intentions. Sometimes taking a break when life is moving fast is painful and scary, but if we don't make a change we will end up where we are heading. If you don't like where you are going then it's paramount to take that break, introspect, and reorganize your life.

I took the dive, a break which seemed impossible. I had to put a total stop to my life in Winnipeg, Canada in December 2024. I quite my job, left my apartment, gave my pet cats to a friend, stored all my belongings, and my car at a farm. I flew home to New Delhi not knowing what the future holds. I just was not happy with the way things were going in my career and my personal life.

Taking a break, changing my location, and environment gave me a new prospective in life. It helped clear many doubts and misconceptions. It showed me how I had trapped myself in a box, with limited options and opportunities. After arriving in Delhi, I rested for a couple of weeks and then life started unfolding, things started happening which helped build my confidence. I was able to complete many pending projects, was able to participate in the Maha Kumbh Mela, and spend time with family.

Sometimes doing nothing is as important as doing something!

In the end, I'll say that Life is a experience, if you are not enjoying it make a change. It might not be easy but it will be totally worth it.

Take a break in life and in career is incredibly important for several reasons:

1. Mental Health and Well-being: Constant work without breaks can lead to burnout, stress, and anxiety. Taking time off allows your mind to rest, recharge, and reset, which is essential for maintaining good mental health.

2. Increased Productivity: Ironically, taking breaks often leads to greater productivity. Continuous work without breaks can lead to diminishing returns. A break allows you to come back refreshed, with a clearer mind and renewed energy, helping you work more efficiently.

3. Creative Recharging: Stepping away from daily tasks or routines can spark creativity. New ideas often emerge when you're not actively trying to solve a problem. Breaks can give you the space to think creatively and gain new perspectives.

4. Physical Health: Long hours of work can take a toll on your physical health, leading to things like poor posture, eye strain, and even heart problems due to stress. Taking breaks, moving around, or engaging in activities like exercise can help keep your body in better shape.

5. Improved Decision-Making: When you're constantly immersed in work, it can be difficult to step back and look at things objectively. A break gives you the time and space to assess your goals, values, and whether you're on the right path.

6. Building Resilience: Taking breaks teaches you how to manage energy, not just time. It helps you recognize when you're pushing too hard and need to slow down, which is an important skill for long-term success.

7. Reconnecting with Yourself: A break can give you the time to reflect on your personal life, interests, and passions. It’s easy to lose sight of what matters when you're caught up in the hustle. Taking time off helps you reconnect with your true self.

8. Stronger Relationships: Whether in your personal life or at work, taking breaks can improve your relationships. It gives you the time to focus on loved ones, socialize, and engage in meaningful connections, all of which are crucial for a fulfilling life.

9. Preventing Burnout: Without breaks, you run the risk of burning out, which can have long-lasting effects on both your personal and professional life. Taking breaks helps prevent this by allowing you to manage your energy and workload effectively.

   
   

In short, taking a break isn’t just about resting; it’s about fostering a balanced, healthy, and sustainable approach to life and work.
