Rest

I've heard it (and said it) a "million" times - get some rest!

What is "rest" anyway?

Last week, rest for me meant disconnecting from the digital world. No email, limited text messages, only purposeful Internet use (e.g., getting directions).

This week, rest means sleep, including sleep during the day and going to bed when many tasks remain incomplete.

I offer up that rest means taking care of yourself.

That can be a really hard thing to do when we have deadlines to meet, research to finish, presentations to prepare, soccer games to attend, studying to do, papers to write, maybe even dinner to cook.

I'm reminded this week, in particular, that we need to take care of ourselves.

We need to rest.

Taking rest:

👍 Makes the challenges easier

👍 Helps prepare you for what's next (whatever that might be)

👍 Gives you a fresh perspective

👍 Recharges your battery and gives you energy

👍 Promotes healing

What does "rest" look like for you?

When is the last time you took rest?

Make the hard decision to take some rest.

You will be grateful that you did!

Create your life.
