A day of rest.
Rest is important for many reasons, and has many benefits.
It melts stress. Sharpens creativity. Allows for deep breathing. Can improve relationships.
Gives us space to think (or not!).
But by rest, I don’t mean lie on the couch and watch tv, or hike a mountain or simply take a break from work.
The tv stimulates the brain and doesn’t allow you to truly shut down.
Also, you can rest and still move – but hiking a mountain or other strenuous activities don’t give the body a true break.
Today, find an activity that allows you to rest. To rejuvenate. To relax and take a break.
Shut off the tv. Power down the computer. Hide your phone for an hour or two.
Go for a walk in nature. Listen to your surroundings. See the colors. Smell the air.
Curl up on the couch and take a nap.
Cuddle with your dog.
Play with your kids.
Sit in silence.
Do some yoga.
Rest, and be at ease.
Move more, not less.
