Sip Away Your Cares with a Coffee Break Sip Away Your Cares with a Coffee Break by Angelina Pyrkins

Time for a break? We all need them. It's a simple part of human nature. Most jobs allot ten to twenty minutes during the day for a much-needed coffee break.

Most everyone who works for a living sees coffee breaks as vital parts of employment. After a few hours on the job, it's a little ray of sunshine and something to look forward to.

We're raised from childhood to understand the concept of a coffee break. After all, school recess is no more than a preadolescent form of the coffee break. Even as children, we're taught that everyone needs to have a little time to rest and relax. For children, recess is the one time in the entire day when they can play and be themselves without pressure from their teachers.

Why are coffee breaks important?

Coffee breaks hold a lot of clout, even to those who don't drink coffee. These daytime oases are much more than opportunities to sip a cup of joe. A coffee break is the chance to relax, kick back, cool off a little and get an energy recharge to prepare for what's coming next.

These breaks are really metaphors for our lives. Coffee breaks are there because we are, after all, only human. We simply can't work all day without any rest. Even God took a rest after creating the world.

Machines, like people, need to take breaks during the day. Otherwise, they'll overheat, overstress and eventually break down. Maybe we're not that different from machines, after all. We all need to take a coffee break to keep cranking out the work.

If you're at work, feeling blue and just tired of your job, it's not retirement that you're thinking about, is it? You're anticipating that coffee break, and the wonderful perks that come with it. You look forward to a friendly chat with your co-workers, a little snack, some time to think or plan ahead and, of course, a cup of stimulating coffee.

We all look forward to our futures and we all make long term plans. There's something that we need in the meantime, however, that can help make those plans come to fruition. A coffee break is a little like going to bed. You look forward to it, but you know that you can't sleep forever. If you never woke, you'd have no chance to live. It's like a coffee break; enough rest to get you through the day, but not so much that you're not able to make a living. Everyone would like to take a permanent coffee break, but we still need to pay the bills.

Time in today's society is very important. However, even the most time-conscious person would agree coffee breaks are a necessary component of productivity.

Coffee breaks are essential for refreshing yourself, assessing your work and determining your pace. They provide time to reflect on what you've done and plan what to do next. When you're on a coffee break, you can clear your thoughts without the pressure of the clock.

Socializing at work should be encouraged. After all, how many times have you worked in an environment for several years, yet knew very little about the person sitting next to you?

Lunch breaks don't hold the same motivation. Lunch is a necessity, because we need to eat. These midday breaks are times to recharge our overused batteries, but they just don't offer the same sort of comfort.

This comfort is what makes our coffee breaks so special. We're encouraged to gather with our co-workers, to connect and interact. Coffee breaks provide the peaceful rest that we need. So go ahead and take a break. You've earned it.
