took a break last year. Partly jaded from work, partly felt that I can and should do more in life. I did have a solid financial runway to build on.
but my objective was to:
1. take a break (the release from the tension was bliss😌)
2. make some bolder moves and take risks, responsibly.
the choice paid off and is still paying off :)
To anyone who's considering a break or is on a sabbatical, I wish you all the best 🙏
I have a question, what are the signals (both physically and mentally) that help us realize we need a break?
