Rest.

When is the last time that you rested? Truly rested. No alarm clocks... no time schedule. Just you, your mind, and rest. I know it's easy to tell ourselves that we have no time. We have obligations and responsibilities that are demanding of us. But I think it's important to consider that if we deny ourselves of rest, we won't be able to do of our obligations for long.

We'll burn out.
We'll get fatigued.
We'll lose interest.
We'll get irritable.

Every once in a while, it's important to pull back and rest. To refresh ourselves. Perhaps even in this rest we will remind ourselves of why our obligations and responsibilities are important to us. To get a renewed perspective. Whether it's a long weekend away in the woods, a morning walk to the beach, or a lazy day in bed with comfy covers... take time to rest and recharge.

You'll be better for it, and others will appreciate you more too.
