How a pause from routine life can refresh your mind.

Blog post by Nazia Tabasum A

Taking occasional breaks from the fast-paced life can bring out many positive changes to our mind and body. But how often do we think of taking breaks from our daily routines?

Taking regular pauses from work can help in stress reduction, mood enhancement and to cultivate positive thoughts.

Not just in psychological terms, but this also helps in improving our physical health such as improving sleep quality and regulating stress hormones. 

Recently, I happened to visit a beautiful place named Puliyur, a village in South India located in the Krishnagiri district, Pochampalli taluk. 

I want to share my personal experiences through this blog post about how this journey and the place helped me to realise the necessity of taking these intervals from my routine life.

In this digital world, we often communicate with our friends and family through digital mediums rather than meeting them in person. 

But this trip helped me to spend quality time with my family. The get-together hasn’t just given beautiful memories, but also helped in strengthening our relationship and bonds.

People in Puliyur lead a simple life in a peaceful environment. The village has many lush farming fields and serene spots like the second biggest lake of Tamil Nadu, Barur lake and one of the famous Indian rivers, the South Pennar River (Thenpennai).

Also the local cultural festival celebrations elegantly portrayed the tradition of that village and the journeys we took to meet our relations who were located in Dharmapuri, Bommidi, Salem and Thirupattur, gave us a memorable experience.

Going to luxury places to spend our vacations gives us excitement. But visiting such places that reflect the essence of simplicity and beauty can bring peace and rejuvenation.

Travelling to such places can also help in increasing our productivity and concentration, apart from improving well-being.

Thus, no matter how much we are occupied with work and responsibilities, we should understand the importance and necessity of getting proper rest at regular intervals.

This will be supportive in boosting our physical and mental health and at the same time, can also be helpful in leading a balanced lifestyle.
