Sometimes you got to REST!!

Have you ever been in a situation where you feel drained, no idea's coming in, we feel choked, or what you find so interesting before, suddenly loses your interest and you wonder why it's so.
i must say, nothing is wrong anywhere,
Number 1,2,3,4-10. you have basically lost touch because stress as taken over and now, you need some rest, you need to pause, you need to get yourself a cup of water, Yes YOU, don't send anyone, go yourself, do the work, walk to that tap to fetch your water, go outside to get some fresh air, look away from that Air conditioner in your room, GO ALL NATURAL!!!! Go smell some roses, go dance in the rain... Take that break and i can assure you this, that you would be coming back refreshed, ideas won't be difficult to catch, and you will have a better picture of what you have been looking at that seem so blurry
