Mental Moment:
How do you break? You probably can name several ways you push through, persevere, and grind, but do you know what replenishes your energy? How do you relax?
Naps are reparations!
Take small breaks when working (Pomodoro Method)
Sunlight can help you rest
Daydream
Catch up with a loved one
Stay in your pajamas all day!
[add to this list with things that help you rest and restore]
