A week off - Heavy Character Animation - Part 2

I have decided in the best interest of my own health to, take a week off from animating. This is due to the amount of stress that has built up over the past few weeks where I had experienced some pain in my chest and slight headaches. I have not yet seen a Doctor yet but, I feel that this would be the best prescription for myself, if I had been told by a doctor. I'll be booking one in a couple of days time.

I know that I want to become an Animator and be able to break into the industry this year, seeing my university friends able to find a job after the course and how well they are doing has pushed my mentality to where I have to non stop work. Sure they're times when I do take that one day break off to see friends and relax and there are even times when I do procrastinate. However to be safe and sure, I'll take this week off. I will try and do some small animation maybe, prep for the upcoming animations along the way so I'll be ready.

I am a bit disappointed with myself and how I have put myself into this situation, at times, I feel like I'm throwing in the towel. But, like the people I have spoken from friends, family, meeting others from events, that you sometime have to have patience, you don't need to rush in. With that said, I hope that this isn't a long term worry and that I should be back animating and posting my work in no time.
