Waking up every morning to the same buzzing alarm sound while finding the strength to not throw it across the room is something we have all experienced. The same routine of making coffee, taking a shower and preparing for the day ahead can be frustrating. Pulling up to your job and saying “You can make it through today” is typically what most of us do to prep ourselves for the long day. Fantasizing about taking a long break and never returning is just one of the scenarios most people can only dream of doing.
