The other day, I saw my neighbour's little daughter sitting with her eyes closed on the lawn chair. Curiously, I asked her, "What are you doing?" She replied at once, "I am taking a break. Three tests this week and dance competition err! I am just exhausted."
I gave her a smile as I felt I too needed a break. Post Covid lockdown, we college teachers have been coming to college regularly: everyday either it has been online classes or exams, evaluation then even semester beginning immediately after exam.
It has been quite a hectic and long spell for us. Teaching is a mental task which requires lots of reading and a break rejuvenates the teacher to come back after rambling beyond the syllabus, enthused with yarns to share with students and give them food for thought.
In fact, a break is a must in every profession and for every individual if they have to give their best. Working continuously has become a way of life these days. We keep ourselves under surveillance 24x7. Pressure to perform chores at home; socialising, making friends and fitting in, balancing expectations of family and professional commitments makes life tiring, testing and tough.
Choosing a healthy way to relieve stress is a must. Give yourself a break, don't stress too much unnecessarily. What has to be has to be. Setting a target for yourself is a good thing but to meet the target isn't mandatory.
Efforts should be constant and consistent. Undue stress hampers the creativity and pleasure of accomplishment. If all the time we train ourselves to complete the task our focus will divert to stress and the task will definitely be left unattended.
