Rest Is A Skill

Rest is a skill.

And, like any skill, it is one we must learn, and relearn, throughout our life.

As we approach the holiday period many of us will have an opportunity for rest. That is, if we choose to practice the skill!

Some of us can curate a holiday filled to the brim with ALL the things we’ve been waiting for some time away from work to do. Spending time with family and friends, reading a book or three, jobs around the house, a few days away, exercise, baking, activities with the kids, planning for next year … need I go on.

Oh yes, don’t forget to add REST to that list.

Yes, doing our favourite downtime activities can be a form of rest and, resting gives us the energy and motivation we need for our favourite activities.

As we make our holiday time lists, let’s make sure there’s time for restful rest, too.
