“The mind must be given relaxation—it will rise improved and sharper after a good break. Just as rich fields must not be forced—for they will quickly lose their fertility if never given a break—so constant work on the anvil will fracture the force of the mind. But it regains its powers if it is set free and relaxed for a while.” ~
Seneca, On Tranquility Of Mind, 17.5
How true words survive the ages. Here Seneca reminds us to take a break. To “Chill out” and simply relax. Sometimes you have to slow down to move faster. Or perhaps stop altogether and reserve your strength for the long run.
