Escape to an Expedition

Dear Readers,

I would like to throw an assumption here that majority of the individuals are aware of what it is to be chained to an (intangible ) object! Leaving the kinky part aside, we all are sensitive to the feeling of being enslaved either by work or any such responsibility that requires our 100% dedication and attention. Let us (for our convenience )refer to this nagging element as "Burden".

The burden draws power from our mental and physical health gaining a strong footing into our psyche. It flourishes on stress and nurtures disorders like depression and anxiety.

What must we do to detoxify this burden? Nip it in the bud? It's easier said than done! A vast number of people suffer from conditional pressure that creeps up eerily and refuses to leave the host.

Now the thumb rule being Taking Breaks! Breaks from routine, disrupting the monotony and eliminating the iteration that forms a part of our lives.

I have faced a similar situation wherein the lull of the mundane hours stretched so much that it was difficult to feel happy or excited about anything. All things remaining constant, there was a feeling of incompleteness that nagged at the back of my mind. To address this issue, the only solution that stared me in the face was taking a small vacation. A change in atmosphere felt like coming up for air after staying underwater for a long time. I felt like myself again and the world seemed a better place as clichéd as it sounds!

I came across many people (online and offline ) who suffer from similar stress related problems that, if left untreated, cause more harm than we can imagine. I choose to speak about this because I know how claustrophobic it feels to be at a low point in life .I would like to throw some light by emphasising that taking regular breaks help a lot. Accepting that you're not alone in that vicious cycle, curbs the potential growth of anxiety. 

Breaks include a mini getaway, vacation, time off from the routine. Watching favorite sitcoms (like FRIENDS ❤) also work! In conclusion, do not ignore the nagging as it could be something that dangerously lures in shadows and catches you off guard!  

P.S. I know it's a big post and thank you for reading it! I really think it's an important topic that needs some attention!  

Until next post, stay tuned!

Xoxo
