Hmm I have already taken a long break. I guess it is time for me to start picking up speed again. Both mental and physical endurance are similar. During a long distance run, after stopping to rest for a while it is often difficult to start running again. There will be a 'moving starting point' syndrome. That is, one will first identify a lamp-post or a tree that will indicate the point after which one will start running again. But as one approaches that point, the point will seemingly teleport away, and you are again far away from the starting point.
In a marathon or any 'physical' race, one might be able to pace oneself and eliminate the need to experience such a syndrome by not stopping at all. However in a race like life itself, which does not have a clear ending/goal ( or even purpose), can one still do the same? How do we cope with such a syndrome and how do we balance play and work? How do we know when to stop to refuel our planes, and how do we know our planes are ready for takeoff?
