What a Break Can Do for You

If you're feeling a bit burned out on dating, a break can help you get reconnected with yourself. You might be trying so hard to find a love match that you've forgotten what makes you tick. In other words, you've been focusing on other things (going out, smiling at strangers, making small talk) and not on yourself.

Breaks are all about being selfish, because you deserve it and it's good for you.

A break can help you:

Find new hobbies you might enjoy (if you focus on the activity and not on who is in the class.)
Spend time on things you love but don't have time to do.
Get reconnected with old friends.
Remember how to flirt without the pressure of trying to get a date.
