My August Break: A Freewrite

August breaks are usually a time for little vacation from the rigours of everyday life and are frequently used for rest and rejuvenation. I've thoughtfully scheduled my August vacation this year, prioritising my mental health, personal development, and spending time with loved ones with leisure. I've spent the first part of my August holiday relaxing and taking care of myself.

I started the month by shutting down all strenuous works by taking some time to relax because the rush of daily life has been draining my mental health. I have been engaging in some leisurely pursuits, such as taking enough sleep, fitness exercise, creating my video content, reading books that have been on my list for a while, and just taking some time to unwind. This is crucial, in my opinion, because relaxing involves doing things that make you happy and peaceful rather than just sitting about doing nothing.

Whether it's a morning walk, practising meditation, this small act of self-care will help me reset and recharge.

As the week for my full relaxation is ending, I plan to focus on self development. August is a great month to learn something new or to improve on existing skills.
This year August I've decided to dedicate my remaining break to enhancing my content creation and writing skill. I'll be using video creating tools to improve my editing skills.

Additionally, I also plan to delve into few online courses that I have been interested in. These courses are related to my career field but they are also topics im curious about. This blend of professional and personal interest will not only make me more proficient in my career but also more fulfilled as a lifelong learner.

Traveling is another key components of my August break. I believe that adventure on new location and experiences are crucial for growth. I've planned a short trip to a nearby city I've never visited before. This city has a rich history and beautiful architecture. I'm looking forward to exploring its musuem, cultural landmarks and the historical sites. I hope that single adventure will not only broaden my horizon but a fesh perspective when I return to my normal routines.

The August break is also a time to reconnect with family and love ones and friends, children are on vacation. Throughout the year it has been challenging to spend quality time with my family due to busy schedule as a subject teacher. This break allows me catxh up with old friends, enjoy quality meal time with my family. This moment of connection are valuable and revitalises my spirit more than anything else.

My plans for the August break cover relaxation, personal growth, adventure and connection. By balancing these elements, I hope to return to my daily routines refreshed, renewed and ready to take on new challenges. Whether it is for me to lewrn a new course to enhance my skill, traveling to a new environment, or spending some time with my friends and loved ones, this particular August break is worthwhile.
