You can do it. Its different for everyone. Sometimes it needs careful planning and sometimes it happen suddenly. 

Fear of whats coming is many times worse than actual experience. The actual experience vary and have also upsides. Fear is only bad. 

To be more spesific 21st july 2020 i decided to start my break 1st august. Needed to know I at least had a week to adjust to the project. But then suddenly after not drinking the d y after the described scene and another day I suddenly understood it was already started. 

Good luck, wish you all the best.
