Take a break Of course it could be going on holiday… etc. But in this case it means take a break to spend some time in your world, where you are the only thing that matters at the time. A detachment from day-to-day life. Time for you to do what captures your senses, your most inner connection. This could be meditation, listening to music, playing a sport, i.e. golf, yoga, reading a book with your feet up, gardening, amongst others. To maintain a psychological balance of wellbeing it is vital to Take a break every week and be assertive about it and of course fully enjoy your time.
What happens within the Brain?
Why is it so important to be true to yourself when you choose to do something? For example: listening to music. Sounds are carried to the ears by changes in air pressure. The ear converts sound waves into movement by vibrating specific parts of the middle and inner ear. These vibrations are converted into electrical impulses in the auditory nerve, carrying the information about the sound to the brain. The information travels first to the brain stem, then to the thalamus, and then to the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe on both sides of the brain. A region of the brain called the amygdala seems to be important in making emotional connections such as music and emotions in this case. This region controls the release of hormones such as adrenalin, and basic bodily functions such as the beating of the heart and respiration. In this way, emotional stimuli provoked by music can produce physiological changes in our bodies. Music can cause stress, fear, sadness or an immense feeling of happy reactions. Your brain makes sense of music and allows you to make the decisions about your musical taste. So why is it import to be true to yourself when you choose to do something? Your brain would know if you are enjoying Your time or not. It is fundamental that you make sure thats really what you want to do, especially that you will be enjoying the experience. At no circumstances it is what your peers would do or favour as other psychological issues would came aggregated to your decision of denial such as stress and fear instead of the immense feeling of happy reactions as described above. Therefore, always be truth to your tastes especially when you plan to Take Your Break, where only your perspectives, opinions and favours should matter to maintain a balanced chain of reactions.
