Why is it important to take a break during the holidays?

Host 0:00

When you don't allow yourself to rest, what you're actually doing is you're creating tension with yourself. And it's all fine and good, but there's going to come a point where it's the most rizziest time of the year. The holidays are here. Have a cup of cheer. And under your Christmas tree, you're probably going to have socks and underwear.

What should we focus on during the holidays?

Host 0:22

Because that's seemingly, since I've turned 21, that is the only thing that's under my Christmas tree. Which is awesome, because I do need those from time to time. But the holidays are here, and I feel as if during the holidays, there are a few things that we focus on. One of them is we spend time with the ones we love. Second one is we celebrate. We enjoy the holidays for what they're worth, and we enjoy the fact that the year is over, basically. And three... We get to chill. We get to relax, which in today's world where you have notifications 24 seven on teams and on your, on your school assignments, you know, all day, you're just getting no, no, you need rest. You need to rest. Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

How can we effectively relax and recharge?

Host 1:14

It's okay to feel drained. It's okay to feel tired. If you're in school, every single day has been lock-in city. You just got off of finals like you were doing everything to be goaded. You can chill out. You can lay in bed for a day and watch TV and nothing bad will happen. It's fine. I myself am planning to D1 chill. I am going to watch TV show after TV show after movie after movie after movie after movie because I want to relax. Because you know what? I'm going to admit it. I worked pretty damn hard. I worked hard. I put in the hours. I put in the effort. I stayed hungry. We devour. No Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Shout out The Rock. But I want to chill. I want to chill. And I need to rest. I need to rest.

When you don't allow yourself to rest, what you're actually doing is you're creating tension with yourself. And it's all fine and good. But there's going to come a point where this happens. And suddenly the two plates overlap. And just like the earth, there's an earthquake. And the earthquake will then cause a tsunami of burnout. And it's going to flood your mind. It's going to flood your body.

What are some signs of burnout?

Host 2:39

You are going to be tired. Like, very tired. And you won't be able to do the things that you like because you are burnt out and you need to rest. Your body is screaming for you. Hey, you've overworked me. Like, I need chill. And listen... Everyone's chill meters are different. Some people, they need minimal amount of chill. They can do stuff every single day and they don't need to rest. Their mind is just always on it. But other people, they need to relax. Like every day. They need an hour or two where they can just chill, watch a TV show, scroll some brain rot. I don't judge. Skibbity toilet is fire. It's incredible. But they just need to relax. And you got to kind of find your... your level on the meter.

How do different people define their chill?

Host 3:29

You got to find, okay, do I need a lot of chill or do I need a little bit of chill or do I need somewhere in between? And then you got to determine what does your chill look like? What does you actually resting look like? Is it laying in bed? Because I know for me, I can lay in bed for like a day, but the next day I'm like, we got to go. I don't feel comfortable just chilling in my bed all day. I don't like it. My form of relaxation is I love to journal. I love writing. I love scrapbooking. When I do that, I can just shut off my brain and I can write for hours and it's chill. Another thing is doing something crafty, building something, building a model. playing around with some cardboard and figuring out how to build a, you know, I don't know, the Burj Khalifa out of it. Who cares?

What activities can help in relaxation?

Host 4:19

You gotta find something that makes you feel relaxed. Burnout is very real. It's so real. It's so draining. It gets to a point where you feel like you're doing the motions, but you're not getting any kind of dopamine or any kind of satisfaction from the things that you're doing. And it kills any motivation to keep going.
