Sometimes we simply hit a wall and need to walk away for a few…
…minutes, hours, days…
We’re faced with a problem we can’t wrap our head around, a challenge we can’t seem to solve, an issue we don’t know how to get out of, and the most important thing we want is to find the answer.

I took a breather, walked away for just a few, and was able to put all the pieces together.
Sometimes the most difficult thing is to let go and take a breather, yet could prove to be the best thing for you.
