When I take a few days off

A funny thing happens when I take a few days off. No matter if I take a few days off from working out, or making videos, or even something simple like writing these blog posts.

Getting started again feels 10x more difficult. There is a feeling of discomfort and an utter lack of confidence. I have no idea why.

Also, when I start writing, working, taking photos, making videos, working out, etc… it’s the most fun thing ever. It becomes easy in about twenty minutes and I sit there wondering why I let the break ever happen.

I know I need to take breaks, but the difficulty of getting restarted is frightening. Do I avoid burnout by taking enough breaks? Or do I take breaks and risk never getting started again?

The choice is difficult when I take a few days off.
