I know a very energetic kid who turned ten right at the start of summer; the start of double digits, a beautiful day in the lake, and\u2014they snapped their tibia. What was set to be a summer of hiking, adventuring, and exploring is now going to be one of rest, recovery, and, hopefully, relaxation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is, perhaps, from an adult\nperspective, easier to think about putting life on hold when you\u2019re just a kid,\nand there aren\u2019t bills to fall behind on or mouths to feed. But think back to\nbeing ten years old, finally finishing fourth grade, facing a summer full of\nadventure\u2014and having it ripped out from under you. Injuries, illness, pain in\ngeneral\u2014it\u2019s the body\u2019s way of asking for rest, for a break, even when the\nmind, the heart, or the calendar is telling us that it\u2019s just not possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this week\u2019s Daily Focus, I\nwant to look at rest. As summer transitions into fall, let\u2019s look at how we can\nshift our energy along with it, focusing on the internal, the inside, and\nnesting as opposed to the external, adventurous push we feel through\nsummertime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt any given point of life, you can take a pause. Nobody in this world can stop you.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>–<\/em>Sarvesh Jain<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s easy to think, next week, next month, next year, that\u2019s when I\u2019ll slow down.<\/em> But the truth is that it\u2019s never a good time to stop or slow down. If we didn\u2019t feel like we were essential most of the time, we\u2019d probably have a crisis. So how can we just turn off being essential? By sharing the burden and sharing the rest. Pass the torch to someone else for a bit. This is as good a time as any to slow down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen sleep puts an end to delirium, it is a good symptom.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>–<\/em>Hippocrates<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our brains and bodies need sleep to reset and properly function. But beyond our nightly rest, we need to take a break from things in order to be able to see clearly. Staying too hyper-focused on anything will lead to not being able to see the whole picture. If you want to make sure that you\u2019re not missing anything, take a step back for a day or two, and then come in with fresh eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs important as it is to have a plan for doing work, it is perhaps more important to have a plan for rest, relaxation, self-care, and sleep.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>–<\/em>Akiroq Brost<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You shouldn\u2019t have to wait for a\nbroken leg, or a global pandemic, to be able to slow down. If you plan for\nbreaks, for rest and recovery, you can plan to share the workload, delegate\ntasks, and fully relax knowing that the things that need to get done will still\nbe completed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf you desire healing,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n let yourself fall ill<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n let yourself fall ill.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n –Rumi<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, in order to heal, we have to hurt. This can come about naturally, through the course of life, which is always throwing us curveballs, or deliberately, by letting ourselves feel our existing pain. We all have things we can work to heal, and it\u2019s best to do so with deliberation if possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRest and be thankful.\u201d <\/strong>–William Wordsworth<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n To hurt, to heal is all part of being alive. Take the time now to listen to your body, and to be thankful for the signs and signals that it sends you. It\u2019s easy to be angry with a bad back or cramped wrist, but the truth is that your body is working all the time, a billion moving parts keeping you afloat. Take time today to be thankful for what your body can do and be sure to feed it well and give it rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRest is necessary for reflection.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>–<\/em>Lailah Gifty Akita<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond just physical rest,\nsomething else happens within us when we stop moving and sit still. We are able\nto think, to reflect, and as such, grow. Every chance for rest is a chance for\nreflection, to look back at how we have handled things, and what we wish we did\ndifferently. It doesn\u2019t help to dwell, but we can look back on the things we\u2019ve\ndone to see where we might do better in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>–<\/em>Alan Cohen<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There must be balance, which in\nthis world can seem impossible. Our lives require us to work much more than we\nrest, or so it seems. Finding a good balance between the two requires a level\nof stability that most people don\u2019t have the luxury of but being aware is still\na big part of the whole picture. Knowing what balance looks like and working\ntoward it is always a worthy goal. <\/p>\n\n\n Want to build a better future? A life path reading<\/a> with one of our talented life path psychics can tell you where you\u2019re headed. And if you don\u2019t like where you\u2019re headed, your life path psychic can steer you down a better path. <\/p>\n About California Psychics<\/strong> Understanding Your Daily Focus I know a very energetic kid who turned ten right at the start of summer; the start of double digits, a beautiful day in the lake, and\u2014they snapped their tibia.
