I used to be fond of taking long big breaks like them, usually at the end of the year. To spend something on holiday and mainly to get away from the office. But such way of taking a break is like the paragraph above. No spaces in between. One big break at the end when we are near the verge of breaking.

Taking breaks in between and frequently adds space to your life. It's like adding space to words. Just as space between words make reading easier, spaces in between your life makes the journey very much easier. Make a conscious effort to take small breaks. In fact every weekend can be a break if you consciously do it and make it a point to refresh your mind and body.

We don't usually appreciate the space between words. But lets at least start to appreciate the space inside the very hectic lifestyle that most of us in this modern world are living.

We all need to have a creative outlet -
A Window, A Space -
So we don't lose track of ourselves.
