Yoga Lifestyle and Giving the Mind a Break

By Bhavan Kumar

There is always an overzealous team mate or coworker that refuses to take breaks throughout the day. While they may feel extra-productive, their attention span is going to take a major plummet simultaneous with the body. Even the group that takes their regular breaks could be at risk for fatigue and lack of circulation for lack of know-how when it comes to restful pauses. The 'quick fix' attitude of the modern age has convinced us that a thirty minute sitcom with a microwave dinner is good enough use for our spurts of free time. This misconception has made the present practice of yoga all the more medicinal and restorative.

Alternative Breaks

One famous speculation from Dr. Shelly Gable integrates the mental and physical uses of yoga training. During a general review of the 'positive psychology' concept at the University of California (Santa Barbara 2005,) Gable and a colleague made definite claims for the potential of cognitive and emotional benefits. She accredited yoga as one of the top alternate self-improvement techniques, capable of optimizing breaks for an even more fulfilling moment of how the blend of exercise, meditation, and wellness to allow the individual to maximize his or her body's rejuvenation and functionality. 

Breaks Today

The waste (smoking) and grease oriented (fatty food) breaks still continue at the same frequency after the general review was released. A great deal of the population is so captivated by their daily lives that breaking routine is unsettling and oftentimes out of the question. These folks are harder to pull on board with the recently accepted evidence of rewards for healthy living. They will be more rigid when trying to ease into a pure form of holistic exercise with a strange new clarity of mind. The brutal truth is that the continuations of ‘work breaks’ will only bring the inactive, frozen food consuming, and anxiously disgruntled traditionalists closer to death. These tragic souls will never be able to enjoy a moment to pause from their work the right way.

Shelly is not the only researcher looking to help add years to these peoples' lives using energy management. In 2008, a Harvard graduate by the name of Stephen Covey offered his own input on the matter through his medium of text, "Principals of Balanced Self Renewal." He outlines seven rules for personal improvement and refreshment, the last of which is 'sharpening the saw' of positive traits. A pause in daily life to focus the mind and condition the body radically strengthens each aspect.
