139: Ask Denis Recognizing That Taking a Break is Critical
When we are out there all day grinding, learning, and taking more steps towards our goals, it takes a toll on us. Hustling and going out to the world to take action is essential to reaching our goals, but if you don\u2019t take a break, get some rest, and take care of yourself, you\u2019ll end up taking a step backward instead of moving forward.
If we constantly do this, there is no doubt that we\u2019ll experience burnout. That\u2019s why we should recognize that taking a break is critical. If you face walls that at the moment seem impossible to take down, take a break and relax. Recuperate and renew yourself so that when you come back, you\u2019ll be facing the problems with a fresh and focused mind.
