Taking a Break

My son has been working on a school book report for the last few weeks and he's finally in crunch mode since it's due this Friday. He got a bit nervous over the weekend, since he couldn't seem to understand the last two points he needed to answer. He even got a bit teary-eyed. I told him to take a break.

Sometimes we are too close to a situation that we can't think or see clearly. Everything is swirling around in our thoughts, and although we know that the answer is within easy reach, we can't quite seem to grasp it. So we need to take a break. We need to step away for a bit and do something that will distract our minds so the solution will be easier to see when we look at our situation once again.

Are you looking at something too hard? Take a break so you can see things anew.
