Is there a limit to amount of food you can consume in a day before you get sick?

How do you know when you’ve eaten too much?

For most people their stomach sends a message to their brain saying there’s no more room in here, I need a break, and then it works on digesting the food.

What about your brain?

When it’s full where does it send a message saying that it needs a break and time to digest all the information it’s being fed?

Your brain might seem like a vessel with endless capacity, but it too needs time to collect itself and process all the information it’s fed.

Now you might say that your brain will process while you’re sleeping, and that’s true but why not give it some breaks throughout the day too.

Take breaks for your brain the same way you take breaks between meals.

You don’t have sit around for hours between activities but just a few minutes of focused breathing can be a wonderful reset for your brain between tasks.

Your brain breaks can also lead you to have new ideas and perspectives because you’re giving yourself time to digest all the information you’ve consumed.

Practice treating your brain the way you treat your stomach, and give it the breaks it deserves and needs.
