Why Do You Keep Pushing Through Instead of Slowing Down?

[Hazel]

Many people ignore early signs of stress until they have no energy left. Do you usually notice when you're reaching your limit, or only after you've gone past it?

I think a lot of us keep pushing because it feels like there's always one more thing to finish. Slowing down can even make us feel guilty, as if we're falling behind. Sometimes it isn't until we're completely exhausted that we realize taking a break would have helped us get more done in the first place.
