When Can Life Become Too Much?

Staying busy is a part of life. Some people have school, work, cleaning to do at home, errands to run, and find no time for themselves. As a college student I find it extremely difficult to sit down and find time to watch television,  read, game, or to just close my eyes. I am stuck doing countless hours of homework, cleaning the house, and working three days a week. Staying busy may keep us from getting bored, but how can constantly engaging in tasks negatively affect us? 

Always having a thought on your mind about something you need to do, or constantly thinking for homework teachers throw at you can make you feel frazzled. Another way to put it is that you start to not think clearly and you may feel heavy-headed or tired. This is because your mind is pushing itself to keep working even when it needs a break and if you are feeling stressed it adds to the strain your brain may feel. It is very important to take a break from all of the work you are doing and relax. If you take a break after studying or doing a mentally challenging task, then your brain will feel more open. Also, if you don't take breaks while studying, then you can permanently damage your eyes. You can tell if your eyes are starting to get tired when you feel yourself struggling to concentrate, or they may start to burn. Taking breaks help stimulate creativity, you can think faster, and you can save your eyesight. 

Always being busy and working may put strain on your body. Constantly working burns calories and gives you exercise, but your body also needs time to rest. Putting a lot of strain on your muscles constantly does not give them enough time to rebuild themselves to make you stronger. You will start to feel lethargic and get tired quickly when doing easy tasks. Taking allotted time out of your day to rest your body will give you more energy and in turn will help you get everything done more quickly. Eating properly can also help this problem. It is important to eat healthy and eat throughout the day if you are tiring your body. This helps to ensure that your body has the fuel it needs to keep going.  

Resting your body and your mind is extremely important when it comes to keeping your physical and mental health intact. Taking a small amount of time out of your day to sit and let your mind clear or let your body relax can make a significant difference. Your mind will think more clearly and you might feel more creative. Your eyes will also be healthier because they won't be straining to stay focused. Your body will thank you too. You will have more energy and your muscles will have a little bit of rest to rebuild to make you stronger. All it takes is 10-15 minutes a day to improve your health.
