Day after day the woodcutter cut down fewer and fewer trees. His boss told him that if he did not chop down more trees each day he would lose his job. The woodcutter tried harder, he worked during all his breaks, but could still not cut down enough trees.

Eventually his boss fired him. The woodcutter was disappointed as he knew he had worked as hard as he could. He handed his axe back to his boss, who took one look at the axe and asked him when was the last he had sharpened the axe. The woodcutter replied by saying that he had never sharpened the axe as he was too busy trying to cut down trees.

The moral of this story is that you should not get so busy that you don’t take time to sharpen your axe. In other words, take a break or a holiday and spend some time reflecting on your life and on what you are trying to achieve. When you come back you will be refreshed and ready to hit the ground running again rather than running yourself into it.

Everybody needs a break to relax and unwind. A break from your routine; some alone time to recharge and relax away from all of life’s dramas.

Visiting new places and trying new things keeps your brain sharp and can be very fulfilling. You’ll quickly find yourself with a lot more energy, leaving you feeling recharged and ready for anything.

If you don’t take the time off to relax and unwind, you are putting yourself at risk of becoming stressed. Stress can have negative implications for your health, such as high blood pressure, heart disease and depression.

There is so much to do and see in the world, which just isn’t going to happen if you don’t put in the effort to make it happen. Take a break and experience new things, or you may regret it later.
