00:00Welcome back Sunbro. We hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about how taking a deload week can boost your habits and
00:14prevent burnout. Sometimes, the best way to stay consistent is to take a short break,
00:19just like athletes do. They call it a deload. You can do the same.
00:231. What's a deload? When you're pushing hard, at the gym, at work, or in daily routines,
00:28you'll eventually feel drained. A deload is a short, planned pause or slowdown to reset.
00:34Athletes take one every few weeks or when they feel off. It's not quitting, it's smart recovery.
00:392. Why it works. Deloads help you recharge physically and mentally, avoid burnout or
00:44plateaus, and get ready for your next push. Top performers build breaks in on purpose.
00:49So can you. 3. Fatigue isn't a flaw. Productivity culture sees tiredness as weakness.
00:54Sports treat it as normal. Managing fatigue is part of growth, not failure.
00:584. What needs a break. Any routine, cooking, errands, studying, even hobbies, can wear you out.
01:05A one-week deload helps reset. Scale back, don't stop. Examples. Use easy meals instead of cooking,
01:11skip errands or online shop, and swap intense practice for lighter sessions.
01:155. It's not just rest, it's room. Deloads free up time to try other things. Maybe read,
01:21walk, do yoga, or finally open that birding book. Let the space guide you.
01:256. Plan your deload. Ask yourself, will you schedule it or go by feel?
01:30How long will it be? What light activity will you do? What will you skip? How will you restart
01:35your routine after? Grinding non-stop isn't sustainable. A smart break helps you stay on
01:40track, bounce back, and actually keep going. When you feel stuck, take a deload. It works.
