Taking a break, especially during significant life decisions, can be beneficial. This can be achieved through retreats or vacations where one can relax, reflect, and connect with like-minded individuals.

Lastly, tipping waiters or service staff is a way to show appreciation and spread kindness, even if the service was not exceptional. Overall, taking a break and prioritizing self-care can lead to a more serene and fulfilling experience.
