Taking a Break

Nowadays the mind set for a better athlete is nonstop conditioning and training. People think that only lesser and weaker athletes need a break or time to relax. When in reality we all need breaks and it can actually benefit you more if you take a break than if you continue hard core, training and exercise for a long period of time. In this article, Burnout, they refer to the issues of constant training and explain the importance of rest for an athlete.

The word burn-out, from dictionary.com, is explained by fatigue, frustration, or apathy resulting from prolonged stress, overwork, or intense activity.  Over working your mind and body can result in a burn out. If you burn out you could seriously injure yourself or loose passion for your sport or activity. Have you ever noticed that you perform better after you come back from vacation, or take a few days off and you jump higher and have more energy. Sometimes taking a break is what our bodies and minds need in order to recharge. More energy can always benefit your dreams or goals that you have for your specific sport. Sometimes people think that taking a break will slow them down, but it will actually help you reach your goals faster and more enjoyably. If you work yourself too hard and get injured then it will take longer for you to heal than it would for you to just have taken a break. And then you'll have to get back to the skill level you were at before you got injured which will take even more time.

Taking a break rests your body and can help you perform better, not get injured and help you reach your goals faster. Resting your body and taking a break can help you perform better because once you go back to your sport and activity you'll have more energy to accomplish the goals you have. A rest will help you from getting injured because you'll body will have more time to heal and will put less stress on your body so you'll have less of a chance getting injured. Instead of pushing your body to its limits constantly, your body would have time to relax and rest in order to repair and heal for the work you will do later. If you rest your body and heal, then you will reach your goals faster because instead of wearing your body down, you would have more energy and better physical heal to reach your goals faster and easier.

Resting your mind will help you accomplish your goals faster and help you perform better. You perform better when you are mentally healthy and prepared to accomplish the goals at hand. Taking a break from your sport or activity and resting your mind will help you come back to your sport with more energy and a bigger spirit and excitement for your activity. As Christmas break is here, I encourage you to take a break and rest so you will be able to come back strong and more energetic towards your sport. You will feel better and be more happier with your performance and skill if you take a break and don't burn out.
