I find whenever you experience writer’s block. That is the first sign. Never try to work through it. Just take a break, do something else. The at always seems to help.

When you notice a decline in concentration, increased irritability or a sense of being overwhelmed, You should take a break. Especially when you feel fatigued take break to maintain productivity and energy.

It's important to listen to your body and mind for signs that it's time to take a break and manage your stress. 1 Signs you need a break: Physical: headaches, fatigue, illness Emotional: irritability, anxiety, lack of motivation Behavioral: isolation, procrastination, unhealthy coping mechanisms 2 Also, consider breaks during: Challenging situations Before demanding tasks After extended work periods Simply to de-stress 3 stress-busters: Mindfulness/meditation Exercise Spending time in nature Connecting with loved ones Hobbies you enjoy Listen to your body and mind. Prioritize breaks to manage stress and maintain balance.

Recognize the need to take a break and manage stress when feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, or irritable. Physical symptoms like headaches or muscle tension may signal excessive stress. Difficulty concentrating or making decisions indicates burnout. Schedule regular breaks during busy periods to recharge. Engage in stress-relieving activities like exercise, meditation, or hobbies. Seeking support from friends, family, or professionals is essential for maintaining mental and emotional well-being during challenging times.

In my experience there are some areas where you have to pay attention. First of all, you should pay attention to physical signs of stress such as headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, or changes in appetite and sleep patterns. Also, if you notice yourself becoming more irritable, anxious, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions. In the same way, when you find it increasingly difficult to concentrate, make decisions, or complete tasks efficiently, it could be a sign that you're mentally exhausted. Or if activities that used to bring you joy now feel burdensome or uninteresting. Finally, a persistent negative outlook or frequent pessimistic thoughts, illnesses or a weakned immune system can also be indicative of high stress levels.

Stressors are necessary for humans to thrive and survive. We have stress from both positive and negative events. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a well respected piece of advice is ‘neither be too happy, nor too sad.’ Life is a constant balance between highs and lows but only briefly so being overly committed to either perspective isn’t wise. Your body and mind thrive in a moderate and balanced lifestyle whereas your body and mind suffer from wild swings up and down. We take stimulating things, do stimulating things, seek higher and higher stimuli. We conversely almost seek sedation through drugs, retreats, alcohol, and so forth to ‘recharge.’ There would be no need to overstimulate and recharge if we maintained a moderate lifestyle.

Para que no se acumule un problema, hay que ver el origen del mismo y tomar acción en ese lugar. De la misma manera, no es adecuado esconder la sintomatología ni hacer como que no existe. Hay unos "objetos pulsionantes" (disparadores a nivel del subconsciente) que activan esa reacción ante un peligro (real o imaginario) y hay que ver varios parámetros para "desconectar" esa sensación de peligro: * Objetos pulsionantes. * Discursos mentales. * Sentimientos asociados. * Roles dentro del triángulo dramático de Karpman * Dialécticas mentales VS escena primaria. Cada caso es particular y debe analizarse detenidamente para reubicar de una forma adecuada y correcta a la persona.

En primer lugar hay que dejar claro que existen 2 tipos de estrés: * Distrés: el que llamamos estrés comúnmente y que causa problemas físicos, mentales y emocionales. Se produce ante un evento o situación, consciente o inconsciente, que activa ante una sensación, real y/o imaginaria, una serie de sustancias químicas a nivel cerebral y consecuentemente una serie de modificaciones en nuestra conducta y en metabolismo. * Euestrés: es conocido como el "estrés bueno". Se da en casos en los que sentimos una motivación implícita ante una situación concreta. A nivel cerebral se activa la misma conducta, pero al partir de una motivación personal y no una sensación de peligro, va disminuyendo progresivamente. No se puede descansar del distrés.
