Do you feel like sometimes you have been forced into a corner of rising expectations and demands?
Last week, we talked about why rest is so important. Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, author of Rest, believes, “When we take the right to rest and practice rest we make our lives richer and more fulfilling.”
I would agree.
Of all of my life coaching clients, I would say at least 70% don’t practice rest on a regular basis — and most don’t even know how.
Unfortunately, rest doesn’t magically appear when we need it. If we don’t learn how to rest, we will find ourselves running on fumes and giving our loved ones the leftovers of what little energy we have left.
Taking rest seriously involves recognizing the importance of it and intentionally getting it. For me, I have to sometimes schedule my “rest” in my calendar in order for it to happen.
Are you carving out time in your busy schedule to rest?
