Rest.
It’s something many of us don’t get enough. And it’s not just sleep. But it’s taking time to sit in silence, unplug, and resist the urge to keep busy.
All that constant external noise from technology is a barrier that interferes with our intuitive connection with our selves. Instead of going to sleep when we’re tired or lying down when we need rest, a video game, new app, or Facebook update pushes us towards our second wind. But ignoring our body when we’re exhausted is a battle we’ll lose. In the end, our mental and physical health suffers.
Forcing ourselves to keep going when we’ve had enough makes us impatient, un-attuned and negative. As you’ll read this week, procrastinating on sleep or neglecting your needs will eventually catch up with you. It will deplete your energy making you susceptible to a compromised body and life.
