Hi Everyone 👋
You can stop working without actually resting.
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀.
The workday ends.
You sit down.
Phone in hand.
Messages.
News.
Facebook.
YouTube.
Television.
Another glass of wine.
Something to eat.
More scrolling.
Eventually you go to bed.
And tomorrow you do it all again.
We call that rest.
But sometimes we're simply changing the activity.
The mind never gets a chance to become quiet.
𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.
For ten minutes, put the phone somewhere you cannot reach it.
No television.
No podcast.
No music.
No apps.
Nothing to consume.
𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝘁.
Look out of a window.
Make a cup of tea.
Walk outside.
Let your mind wander.
You may discover something interesting.
At first, stillness can feel uncomfortable.
That's okay.
We're not very good at being nowhere these days.
But trust me, even a few minutes of doing nothing can make a big difference in your day and to your life.
What do you do when you genuinely need to rest?
With Love ❤️
Always
Mark
