When you feel tired and emotionally worn out, you might be tempted to push yourself to continue with your usual activities. Spending time resting and restoring your energy is far more productive in the end. With only ten to twenty minutes of rest, you can return to your activities refreshed and work more efficiently.
One of the best ways to rest is to do nothing. Find a quiet place, sit comfortably and allow yourself to unwind. Avoid focusing your mind on anything in particular. Allow your thoughts to drift lazily, which will give your mind a rest as well as your body. Taking a short nap (ten – twenty minutes) is very effective to rejuvenate the mind and body.
Many people believe watching TV is a good way to rest, however, this could not be further from the truth. Even though your mind might be only partially engaged, your mind is still engaged and does not have the benefit of focusing on nothing or drifting.
We are taught that doing nothing is counterproductive and lazy, which can cause you to develop the habit of busyness for the sake of busyness. While living productive lives is important you also need periods of rest and quiet in order to recharge your batteries.
When you put aside all activities and allow yourself to do nothing, you immediately begin to feel more balanced and peaceful. The quietness of your mind and body eliminates distractions and allows you to connect on a deeper level with your spiritual center. You will regain your energy and feel more productive again. By resting and relaxing quietly, feelings of fatigue dissipate and will be replaced with energized optimism.
