Or more correctly, they're ours. They're what the machine that is our body is needing. It's not your imagination. We need breaks on a regular basis. We work better and longer if we take short breaks between periods of activity. A break is a mental rest, a regrouping of thoughts, a chance for the body to stretch and change position. A break does energize us. Breaks are as important as proper fuel. Thank you for taking one today. Tomorrow, plan on them every hr. They can be nothing more than 2 minutes (120 seconds) long. That's long enough to stand up, stretch, take some deep breaths, and clear your head. You'll work longer and better if you take breaks. Warren Hi Carmen,

I am still trying to make friend with him and I know that not only he needs to be patience but I also have to be patience. As I know from work to train new people or teach something new requires a lot of patience so I guess I have to allow Warren some time to get used to our new life stile. Getting angry at him is not going to help and make things better as I learned last night. Today he still offered me many times a smoke (as he is still faster than I can think) but at least I was trying to think of something different and didn't get angry with him. I just told him no we will not smoke (don't know why I used we, is just came like there is really two) no matter what, I took a deep breath and of to get some fresh air. Watching out for Warren's needs it still diffucult and tierening but hey who said it will be easy. As a smoker I used to take at least every hour for ten minutes a smoke break, now I hardly take any breaks. Today I had a lots of things to do and I wonted to get them done fast so I worked for hours on the <!--more--> computer and I think at one point Warren was giving me a warnig signal ( I am not sure if that it's possibe.) but I tried to listen to Warren and figure out why he wonted to smoke in the middle of what I was doing, so I decided to take a ten minutes break before the cravings got any worse. So I actually got of the computer and took a ten minute break doing some stretches, eating an apple and just relaxing and felt better after. I don't know if there is any connection to it or if it's just my imagination. However the craving was gone after my break and I had more energy and could concentrate better. I don't even know if this makes sense at all. greetings Carmen Pam it looks like you made friend with Warren and he learned what you need.
