Adults Taking a Break from Adulting/Adultos que se toman un descanso de la vida adulta (ENG-ESP)

avatar

As adults, it is vital to take time out and take a break sometimes. Life in general brings a whole lot of responsibilities with it. Sometimes it’s hard to just step on the breaks because there is the need to keep going and the feeling that we cannot afford to take a pause- who would do it or even do it as well as we do, right? Wrong!

Como adultos, es vital tomarse un tiempo y descansar de vez en cuando. La vida en general conlleva un montón de responsabilidades. A veces es difícil pisar el freno porque existe la necesidad de seguir adelante y la sensación de que no podemos permitirnos una pausa: ¿quién lo haría o incluso lo haría tan bien como nosotros, verdad? No es así.

Hard Truth is life will continue with or without us. I recently had an epiphany. I enjoy multitasking, as I am used to doing a couple of things at the same time. My body has been showing signs of needing rest-prolonged rest actually but I ignored it. I thought, who will get this and that done, so I kept going.

La dura verdad es que la vida continuará con o sin nosotros. Hace poco tuve una epifanía. Me gusta la multitarea, ya que estoy acostumbrada a hacer un par de cosas al mismo tiempo. Mi cuerpo ha estado mostrando señales de necesitar descanso -descanso prolongado en realidad- pero lo ignoré. Pensaba, quién va a hacer esto y lo otro, así que seguí adelante.

I kept having frequent headaches, my eating pattern changed negatively, my energy level was a little to low, my motivation needed motivation, my mood was a roller coaster, my sleep was disturbed and I would wake up feeling so tired.

Seguí teniendo frecuentes dolores de cabeza, mi patrón de alimentación cambió negativamente, mi nivel de energía era un poco bajo, mi motivación necesitaba ser motivada, mi estado de ánimo era una montaña rusa, mi sueño estaba perturbado y me despertaba sintiéndome muy cansada.

Another reason I did not listen to my body and the way I was feeling was that I low-key felt guilty about taking breaks as It might seem I was avoiding or neglecting responsibilities. This was of course a wrong way to feel.

Otra razón por la que no escuchaba a mi cuerpo y a la forma en que me sentía era que me sentía culpable por tomar descansos, ya que podía parecer que estaba evitando o descuidando responsabilidades. Por supuesto, esta era una forma equivocada de sentirse.

I went out for a quick errand and started feeling really dizzy on my way back. Thankfully, I was close to my house so I tried to manage myself till I got home. As soon as I drove in and parked, I stepped out and went blank for a few seconds. I could not see anything and my gateman rushed to hold me- apparently, he said everything dropped from my hand and I was heading for the ground.

Salí a hacer un recado rápido y empecé a sentirme muy mareada al volver. Por suerte, estaba cerca de mi casa y traté de controlarme hasta llegar a ella. En cuanto llegué y aparqué, salí y me quedé en blanco durante unos segundos. No podía ver nada y mi portero se apresuró a sujetarme; al parecer, dijo que se me había caído todo de la mano y que me estaba yendo al suelo.

My sister helped me into the house and I was given first aid then taken to the hospital. The doctor confirmed that I was very stressed and needed to be placed on bed rest for a day or 2. I managed to talk my way to 1-day bed rest and I was discharged with strict advice to take the next few days off and rest well.

Mi hermana me ayudó a entrar en la casa y me dieron los primeros auxilios y luego me llevaron al hospital. El médico confirmó que estaba muy estresada y que debía guardar reposo durante uno o dos días (2). Conseguí convencerme de que debía guardar un día de reposo y me dieron el alta con el estricto consejo de que me tomara los próximos días libres y descansara bien.

Clearly, my head is not made of coconut, so I took the much-needed rest and went out with my family to a park. I did not participate in the activities but I had fun just watching them have fun.

Está claro que mi cabeza no es de coco, así que me tomé el tan necesario descanso y salí con mi familia a un parque. No participé en las actividades, pero me divertí sólo viendo cómo se divertían.

Moral of the story: Rest is as important as work.

Moraleja de la historia: El descanso es tan importante como el trabajo.

Till I come your way again.
Have a beautiful day!

¡Gracias por su precioso tiempo!

Wow I can imagine the massive fun from this very day... But coming to the more serious note Sometimes we get caught with these ACTIVITIES without even we minding the outcome it will bring to our body... It happens to us all

Even to the extent YOUR MOTIVATION NEEDED MOTIVATION... I swear that line was Hilarious 😁😁

But I'll advise you take more time for leisure so it won't lead to often complications... And try to work while you rest and also rest while you work

You content was awesome 😇... Thanks for sharing

I'm telling you. I struggled to be motivated or stay motivated. It was just too much to deal with.

And try to work while you rest and also rest while you work

I'm still learning how to balance this but eventually, I will.
Thank you so much for stopping by @khingstan 😊
