This is, of course, assuming that you are a sick workaholic (or practice-aholic) bastard like me.

It doesn't really matter what your profession is, if you decided to be devoted to a life of your profession, you may already have experienced some sort of obsessions and over-working on your practices or studies.

See, our brain needs rest from time to time, we are not computers (well actually we are, but not the kind of computer we are using to read this post), therefore we can't really manage the overuse of our cognitive systems. We are biologically designed to not be able to be under constant pressure such as nowadays we are. Everyday, every time.

And I am not even talking about when you are at work and you feel your boss hates you. I am even talking here,
in your resting place where you are reading this and having "spare time". Most of us would feel that we are not enough and even when we comment the things that we did or share the result of our work, it will never be enough. We will feel judged and so, we will feel stress and hurt because of the social human nature.

See, everything in our surroundings is made in such a way that it's a potential threat in one or another way.
But the worst of all, is ourselves.

"I am not enough".

Sometimes this is because of a lack of self-esteem. But other times, such as in my case mostly, it's because of an over-use of my brain to practice.

This is when the thing gets fucked up, because we human love the extremes. We love to be either absolutely productive and overcome the training, the practices, get better and unique. Or to be lazy bastards and have nothing in our mind but some chill music or the sound of nothingness.

This is why having rest times is so important, for all of us. Even some steemians that write and publish without stopping. We all need to stop from time to time, and have some rest.

And it is not only for our sanity and health. It will also improve the quality of our work. Like when you are over-trained and you just keep doing, or instead that, you decide to stop one or two days, and let the body do its job of recovering from the damage. Once you get back to it, you will be stronger and way more fresh.

Unfortunately, we are not like windows or mac machines... it would be awesome to just upload a different hard-drive and change these things that make us so harmful to ourselves. Or maybe the way that our body and mind works. But that s not possible (yet).

So please remember about your sanity, your health, keep an eye to the sleeping time. Don't neglect your health and your body. Whatever you are doing, I bet you can do way better just if you do it on its right time, and you give to your body and mind the proper care.

Bye!
