When did the 4 pm slump turn into an all-day slump? Maybe you've been taking the grindset culture a little too seriously lately. You're just so close to your goals, you don't want to lose steam yet! But if you don't take a breather and give yourself some downtime and a moment to recoup, then you are going to do the corporate nightmare: You're going to burn out. Let's avoid that scary and exhausting path by taking a quick mental meme break!

Woooooo saaaaaaaaa. Take a big breath in, hold it for five seconds, and now breathe out slowly. Do this a few times and then scroll through some memes so you can start your regulated body on an upbeat note! One filled with memes and laughter.
With all of those influencers out there telling you to rise and grind, it is hard to remember to appreciate the little things. It takes more than just acknowledging the little things; you need to act. Actually, stop to smell those flowers, not metaphorically, like actually physically take a whiff. Actually, shut your phone off an hour before you go to sleep. Be in the moment while you're on the train commuting home. Observe the happy babies rolling by in strollers and the excited dogs greeting each other on the sidewalk. LOL at whatever memes your little heart desires, no judgment!

If you take a short meme break to give your brain a meeting break, your Q1 might just be better than ever. You might be able to actually enjoy those longer hours you agreed to take. Heck, that dream vacation fund is almost there, you're doing a great job! But nothing will be worth it if you crash out. So lock in and enjoy some YOU time!

By the way, don't you dare feel guilty about scrolling through these memes! This isn't doom scrolling; this is a finite list of specific memes meant to give your brain a break and put a smile on your face. You deserve it! Treat yo self.
