Breaks Are the Food of Life

We underestimate the importance of taking breaks from our hamster wheels to do nothing. I shouldn't describe this use of time as being for nothing, because that's only the perception of our productivity focused culture. We are taught to view activities that are not directly in service to progress as useless. This judgement couldn’t be farther from the truth. Activities such as dancing, self-pampering or just general hermiting serve an important purpose.
