I had a friend who loved writing.

But at some point, she had grown tired of it and began seeking ways to avoid it — procrastinating, choosing almost any activity from laundry to yard work over putting words on a page, and getting lost on social media when she'd finally sit down to write.
但在某个时候，她已经厌倦了它，并开始寻找避免它的方法——拖延，选择其他所有的活动，从洗衣到庭院工作，就是不去写作，当她终于坐下来写作时，她开始刷社交软件了。
She realized, ultimately, that she needed a long break from writing if she was ever going to fall in love with it again.
最终，她意识到，如果她想再次爱上写作，她需要很长一段时间不再写作。
Sometimes, you need to power through something to develop a positive habit (all of us should exercise, for example, but it can be hard to get started); but other times it's necessary to take a temporary or permanent break.
有时候，你需要通过一些事情来养成积极的习惯（例如，我们所有人都应该锻炼，但要开始锻炼可能很困难）；但在其他时候，有必要暂时或永久地休息一下。

This wasn't because the company or its people were bad; the fit just wasn't there anymore.

If you regularly feel dread at approaching your work, it's time to seriously consider changing it or leaving it behind.

Workspaces with colleagues who scream at or personally insult you, for example, or where you are worked to the point of physical collapse should, of course, inspire you to seek something new (if not pursue more serious action).
