Ever feel like your brain is a browser with 47 tabs open?
You know that feeling, where you're mentally juggling client calls, team updates, family schedules, and that nagging feeling you're forgetting something important?
Here's what happened to me last Tuesday: I sat down to write a simple email and just... stared. For 20 minutes. My mind was so cluttered I couldn't form a coherent thought about something I do every day.
That's when it hit me, my mind was screaming for a break.
We expect our brains to run 24/7 like machines, but even your phone needs to be restarted sometimes.
Your best ideas don't come when you're grinding, they come when you create space for them to breathe.
Mental breaks aren't a luxury, they're a leadership strategy.
When's the last time you gave your mind a real break?
Not scrolling, not "relaxing" with Netflix, but actual mental rest?
What's one way you could give your brain a breather today? Share below, maybe your idea will inspire someone else to finally close those mental tabs!
We're in this together, and sometimes together means giving ourselves permission to pause.
