Why Taking a Break Is So Important

By Redhead_Roxxy 660 views 1st Aug 2026

Taking regular breaks from this site is vital, and the only thing that’s kept me sane! When you first join, you get swept up in this whirlwind of emotions, and I know for a lot of people this is more than just a side hustle, it’s a means to provide. You get addicted to earning money in such a fun and creative way, while also getting off? Sounds like a dream…the problem is, this job is incredibly draining:

Talking to multiple people at once is emotionally draining in itself, it's hard for me sometimes to keep up with my messages, and when I have more than 5 or 6, I get easily overwhelmed and want to run away. Pair that with TW’s, people trying to haggle your prices or people trying to get free content….you’re on a one way train to losing your god damn mind

When these feelings start to kick in, you can start to spiral, and feel like what am I doing wrong, and then you start to compare yourself with other sellers, I know for me personally, I see people with loads more reviews that started way after me, and I start to question if I’m good enough for an industry like this.

On top of all this, you’ve also got a whole other life to lead, a family to take care of, another job to be present for, a different version of yourself that you don’t reveal on the site.

When you’re feeling a bit hopeless, endlessly refreshing the dash, wondering where all the decent buyers are, you need to stop. Because nothing is going to flow when you’re in that state. Take a few hours, the evening or even a few days to come back to yourself. Get some fresh air, touch some grass, have a bath, go have a girly night, whatever it is you do to wind down or forget about the world for a minute, go and do that. Get your mindset right, and come back refreshed.

Every time, I’ve come back to sales, because I’m not forcing anything, and it gives me a moment to remember why I love this space and community. You’re doing a lot better than you think, learn to rest, not to quit💚

QueenCumslut Coming from neurodiversity I come in fast and hard and burn out quickly. Breaks are a must. Burnout is not cool 😵😵😵

Redhead_Roxxy @Forgetmeknot thank you 🥰🥰🥰 100% right, we can get sooooo in our own heads, we just need to take a minute for ourselves 🫶🫶

Forgetmeknot "learn to rest, not to quit" THAT PARTTTTT!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Sometimes just a bit of space is what we need to get our head right, when it can feel like we either need to be all in or all out. Lovely read, well done xx🥰

Redhead_Roxxy @Blondie27 thank you 🥰

Blondie27 THIS 🙌🏻 brilliant blog beautiful 💗🤍💗

RavenJ @Redhead_Roxxy same! Not sure how I will emotionally survive pre teens & menopausal hormones - pray for me 😂

Redhead_Roxxy @RavenJ 100000%, im a single mum myself, I’ll definitely be taking regular breaks 😅😅

RavenJ @Redhead_Roxxy as a newer seller this is an important message to receive - you hear “if you aren’t xxx you are missing out on a sale” but as a mum who works full time & doing this on the side I am definitely going to take some time out this summer 🫶🏻

Redhead_Roxxy @Smittenxkitten hope you come back feeling refreshed 🥰🥰

Smittenxkitten Currently taking a partial break and this is all soooo incredibly true 🫶

Anastasia_Devine This is just what I needed to read. Love it. Thanks for this🫶🏾

Redhead_Roxxy @Petite_Princess having your phon in the other room is soooo good! You always think what if I miss out on a sale 🫠 but no, we focus on ourselves first, then the sales come after 🫶

Redhead_Roxxy I’m so glad this resonated with so many of you!! It may seem simple but it’s genuinely the best thing when you’re feeling overwhelmed, we are all doing so well and should be proud of ourselves 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

MatureDi Absolutely 💯 agree, although I need to tell myself more often to switch off! 🎶 Music On Singing My Heart Out 🎶 Reading 📚, A girly Day out..& Family 1st Always...

Curvybella1 I 💯 agree breaks is most definitely needed 💖

Petite_Princess Time away is an absolute must! Sometimes, I like to just spend a day with my phone in another room, or an evening just gaming and unwinding because, like you've rightly said hun, this job is incredibly draining and we need to look after ourselves first and foremost. Thank you for writing this. 🫶x

Sweatsandsoles Aww I love this, and it was a great read as a very new seller 🩵 what a wonderful reminder 🥰

MissCataleya Absolutely agree! 😊

Miss_Belle 💯 to this ☝🏼I’m about to take a break… Messaging faceless accounts and keeping them happy can actually be very draining mentally. At someone points I found myself chatting with more accounts on here than humans in real life 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

Rosie_Silken A great and so true, this space can become quite intense at times and it’s so important to take a break before feeling too overwhelmed 🫶 x
