Let Your Mind Take a Break

 

Rest

My latest music video titled "Rest" is now on my YouTube channel. Check it out!😇

Why Rest?

Rest might seem a waste of time to some people, but it's necessary for one's overall wellbeing. By "rest", I'm not referring to sleep. Rather, I mean doing nothing. Specifically, I mean letting one's mind take a break, as in not doing any kind of thinking. According to psychologytoday.com, "the practice of not-thinking is restful, calming and restorative." And when life gets overwhelming, it's even more important that we allow our minds to take a break so that we don't suffer from burnout eventually.

Why Do You Need to Let Your Mind Take a Break?

By giving your mind the break that it deserves, you will be able to think more clearly, according to thebestbrainpossible.com. And when you need to make an important decision, it's even more crucial that you give your mind a break prior to making that important decision.

Shape.com states that when you let your mind wander (or give your mind a break), it actually becomes reenergised in the process. On the other hand, when you don't allow your mind to get reenergised, mental fatigue might set in over time. And when you're mentally tired, it might become harder to make healthy decisions (or important decisions), according to psychologytoday.com. 

Finding Rest in Nature

Nature, in any form, has the unique ability to bring calm to one's spirit and rest to one's soul. Looking at the sea while on the beach is a very therapeutic experience. That's at least true for me.

Being in nature could help your brain get back into gear after a period of mental fatigue. Just looking at pictures of nature works too according to one study, states businessinsider.com. 

Give Your Mind a Break

If you're suffering from mental fatigue, you should really give your mind the rest or the break that it needs so that it could get reenergised. And once it gets reenergised, it will be in a better position to serve you. Don't you agree?

Definition of Animal Euthanasia Animal euthanasia is the act of killing an animal humanely, most commonly with injectable drugs. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_euthanasia ) It's  a method of killing that minimises pain, distress, and anxiety experienced by the animal before the loss of consciousness. ( https://www.msdvetmanual.com/clinical-pathology-and-procedures/euthanasia/euthanasia-of-animals ) How Does Animal Euthanasia Work? Animal euthanasia is typically a two-step process involving two injections to make it painless and stress-free for the animal that is being euthanised.

A calming sedative is given followed by a vein injection. As the anaesthesia takes effect, it overwhelms the brain and shuts it down, quickening breathing and breathing stops within 30 seconds.

Do You Eat Dog Meat?

Image
  Around early 2022, I watched a video of a big dog being forced by a man to go up to a truck. The man was apparently a dog meat trader in a certain part of China. He was using a sharp tool to grip the dog’s neck, which obviously caused it pain and made it fearful as could be seen from its expression. There were other dogs on the truck. It was a sad sight to behold. There were quite a lot of onlookers around. I was shocked that none of them intervened. I knew it could get them into trouble with the dog meat trader if they were to intervene. But if some of them had stepped forward to help the poor dog, it was very likely to be saved. Surely they could buy it or at least call an animal shelter? How could they be so indifferent to the way the dog meat trader handle it? Dogs aren’t poultry. They are supposed to be pets doted by humans, not killed and eaten as food, isn’t it? Moreover, dogs are said to be very loyal. So how could anyone have the heart to kill and consume them? Okay, I k
