Stop. Revive. Survive.

'The greatest thing you can give yourself is a little of your own attention' -Anthony J. D'Angelo

In Australia, there is a campaign to stop fatigue on the road. It's called, 'Stop. Revive. Servive.' This saying is widely know in Australia and aims to avoid car crashes and ultimately save peoples lives.

We can apply this to our every day lives. Sometimes we work too hard and we bite off more than we can chew. At this point you are driving alone, late at night and slowly moving a few kilometres above the speed limit. Eventually, your body starts telling you that it's had enough and needs a break. This can come in the form of a mental breakdown, getting sick or just feeling extremely tired. This is when your eyes start to close and the sweet escape of rest takes over your body. Let's call this the 'crash' point.

Once you have crashed, it comes time to face the consequences. In the most extreme cases, it is impossible to recover. This could be because of the damage to yourself or another person, both equally as tragic.

In order to minimise the casualties it is okay to stop (whatever it is that is so important that you are doing), revive (take a break or just some time to yourself) and survive.
