This article is for those who are completely immersed in professional work or any intensive activity. It is not for those partially engaged, lazy, or casually involved. It is for serious, disciplined individuals seeking balance.
The Trap of Overwork
Sometimes, when you are doing overdosage of work, it acts like a poison to your neurological system and creates toxins in your internal systems. Overdosage of anything is harmful, and laziness is also not ideal. However, over-indulgence often goes unnoticed, and many negative consequences appear: mental entanglement, inability to find solutions, and a hanging system that resists progress. You must recognize your mind and body’s needs for relaxation to maintain health and clarity.
Even when deeply interested in your work, your system needs breaks. Survival and longevity matter more than money or social targets. Physical health requires biological fitness, while mental health requires a harmonious neurological system. Maintaining balance between social, professional, and personal life ensures proper mind detoxification.
The Reset: Mind Detox and Reconnection
Professional success alone is insufficient if biological and neurological health or relationships are neglected. Balanced life involves four key factors: professional career, relationships, physical health, and mental/neurological health. Even when balancing these, fatigue occurs due to constant mental switching. At such points, the best solution is to switch off entirely, hand over work temporarily, and spend time in calm, natural environments — mountains, hills, or quiet retreats — to empty the mind.
Detoxing your mind and body allows fresh insights into work, relationships, and health routines. Maintaining all life factors simultaneously causes fatigue for disciplined individuals. High-level system hanging requires deliberate breaks, which is a responsible, not irresponsible, action. Remember, this solution is only for those maintaining life factors responsibly — not for lazy or partially engaged people.
Even after following all these practices, subtle fatigue may remain — this is not the ultimate solution. Ultimate freedom of the psyche requires advanced practices, which are not covered here. This article focuses on beginners who first need to balance their physical life before moving into deeper insights.
