Because we live such busy lives these days, the moment that we do get a few days off work or a space in our schedule, we immediately fill it with activity. It's like we are frightened of just having to do nothing and being still for a short while.

When we are constantly on the go, we don't function or operate at our best. Taking some time out helps us to see problems we maybe facing from a different perspective. If you don't slow down, you'll never get to where you are going.
