"Hippo" and "Unshelved" were talking about a person taking time off for themselves even if they are volunteering. Hippo was saying that many of us have strong, solid work ethics and do not take breaks. Break time is necessary regularly and frequently. When we work too much, one becomes less effective. Vacations are needed and holiday time helps change our stuck patterned thinking. They allow some space for our energy to flow. Time away gives us opportunities for reflection, so then we can look at our life from the outside in... Our sensitivity and enlightenment and comprehension increases with detachment. "Unshelved" said that his focus and concentration improved during a break Our ingenuity also becomes less of a chore and more resourceful and then we are able to become stronger. That creates a balance between doing and being. Health can be in danger also when your life becomes 'all work and no play.' If we don't take time out then 'Stress" will enter the picture. The best time to take time off is when you are too busy to do it.
