Love to take breaks to spend time with myself: Namita Lal

Actor-producer Namita Lal says she takes breaks as and when she can. She believes it not only rejuvenates and refreshes her, but she also gets to spend time with herself.

 

“I think it is very important to take a break, and I am the kind of person who takes frequent breaks. I believe that whenever I get time between two shoots, two projects, I take a few days off. I spend time with myself, which I love to do, look after myself, do some self-reflection, meditate, and walk in nature, that's the kind of break I take very frequently,” she said.

 

"Then, of course, when I have more time, I go for long breaks. I love to travel, I go visit my family overseas and have some fun times with friends. I have a strong belief that it's not a break; it's life for me. It is taking time off to just be with myself, and I love to take breaks to spend time with myself,” she added.

She mentioned that the older generation does not believe in taking breaks and is constantly working, while the younger ones know its importance. She said, “The older generation was more into work, and a lot of people are still like that. I have friends who work in banks, and they are constantly working in the corporate sector. But I think the younger generation is a lot more aware of the fact that they need to take breaks. They spend more time with themselves.”

 

However, she mentioned that it’s important for them to take breaks from their phones too. “Social media has become an addiction, and there are phones, laptops, and iPads that go with the younger generation, so yes, for them, taking breaks from technology is extremely important. I do that for myself, I do have times or hours in the day when I'm mobile-free, and while I've started watching a lot of content on TV, I try not to watch content on my phone and the iPad,” she said.

 

“So whenever I watch any shows, etc., it has to be the TV, and I don't have TVs in every room, so when I go back to my room, it's books, and it's self reflection and meditation. Those are my daily breaks, reading and  going for a nature walk,” Namita concluded.
