On the importance of taking a break…
Most of the time blogging is fun for me, but even then I still need breaks from it. Early last week I read a book that I didn’t like and ended up DNFing—I’m not naming names—needless to say, it completely threw me off. I ended up taking the rest of the week off since my posts were already scheduled. I found that I had absolutely no enthusiasm to pick up another book.
And I have to say that I think I needed that time away to just do other things. The extra time allowed me to come up with some new ideas for the blog—a new header that I’m currently putting the finishing touches on. And now with a new week I feel ready to get back to reading and blogging. So, this week is going to be kind of slow. As for what I’m currently reading, well I’m not at the moment, but I hope to start something soon.
What do you think? Do you occasionally need time away from something, even if you enjoy it?
Oh yes I agree! Sometimes a break can be refreshing and allow you to think about things from a different perspective. I take a break from reading every once in a while. I love to read, but sometimes my brain just needs a break. :)
ReplyDeleteSince the beginning of this year I've been steadily reading something every week. So I'm going to try and take more breaks before I get to the point where one bad book throws off my entire week again. Thanks for stopping by. :)
