Week 32: Deciding to Give It a Break

• Avoiding people would never help you settle situations. When you decide to step back for tactical purposes, plan your timed break carefully.

• A break does not mean that you should necessarily close all doors behind you. However, do not forget to keep some windows always open for fresh air.

• A necessary break is not an indication that you are helpless. Rather, it is a healthy stage in the journey toward your destination within any relationship.

• When you are in a break, it does not mean to stop thinking. Calm planning for the next step helps you to relax better and be better-prepared to face people after the break.

• When your opponent is hyperactive, it is important to give him or her a forced break. That is the smartest way to absorb the opponent’s energy.

• Pushing your hyperactive opponent to a forced break from the current issue is achievable by distracting him or her with side matters.

• Keep your opponents confused about what you might be doing during the break. Do not overthink about what they might be doing in the same situation.

• An entirely different business destination could be an excellent break from your current exhausting task. You do not need literally to take a holiday.

• Do not wait for an annual leave or even a forced break. Let the break to clear your mind and soul be a daily habit.

• You are free to choose the appropriate time for your mind and soul clearing break throughout the day. However, it is better to adhere to a fixed time and even a defined place.

• When you decide during the break to end a relationship, do not just disappear. You should face the other party with your decision.

• Remember that breaking up is not the only action when finding things are not going as expected with the current choice. You can adopt other options simultaneously.
