MAKE IT BREATHE

Pushing too much is not good for you. It is not good for your body, mind and usually it will not produce your desired outcome. Because it means forcing things, using energy and strength even if you don't need it that time.

Sometimes you have to make something breathe. For example, if you are flushing the toilet bowl repeatedly because your shit won't go away... you can't be flushing it successively because the circulation of water will stop. You need to wait for a few seconds or minutes so that the flush will become strong again, you need to let the toilet bowl breathe so that it will become stronger next time.

Just like building your muscles, you can't be lifting weights 7 days a week, you need to make your muscles breathe so it can recover and become stronger next time. If you will go to the gym 7 days a week without rest... you will become depleted, you will feel weak and tired, you need to relax a little bit and rest your muscles. It will grow faster if you will rest it and give it time to grow.

Another example is studying for an exam, you can't be studying 24 hours a day, that will make you go crazy, you will forget all the information you put inside of your head. You need to relax for a few hours, sleep for a few hours and then go back studying again. You're just a human, you're not a machine. You need to give your brain some breathing room so that it can function better and can memorize words faster.

Just like in thinking about problems too much, if you will do it everyday... you will lose sanity, you will hear voices that is not suppose to be heard, you will become crazy, you need to give yourself some time to do some other things. You need to detach yourself from that problem and make your mind breathe. You will be bale to think clearly and find better solutions if you will let your mind breathe.

Same as pursuing a goal, you can't be pushing 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, sometimes you need to rest so your body will be able to recover. Sometimes pushing too much is pulling you, it is making life difficult for you. You need to relax a little bit and be mindful of the things that are happening in your life, trying hard too much will make you hot headed, you will make a lot of mistakes.

Rest is still important but not too much rest, it's ok to work hard and grind but sometimes you need to make yourself breathe so that better things will happen. It's not advisable to keep pushing even if it hurts too much, sometimes you need to think smart and rest what needs to be rested.
