Ctrl Shift Rest

When we find ourselves in storms of life, it often takes a while to regain our perspective. Remember that REST is an anchor for you. Think about when the week is filled with meetings, projections and running errands after work; rest allows us to spend time alone and reassess our priorities. On the other hand, if we are constantly on the go not giving our mind and body rest, that is counterproductive to our Mental Wellness.  Possibly leading to feelings of overwhelm, keyed up, frustrated, sad mood, isolation or complete shutdown from everything. That fact of the matter is it’s unbalanced.  Find time for REST, it’s productive and necessary for your mental wellness.  

One way to achieve quality REST is through a balanced schedule., a mix of work and play, family and friend, reading several chapters to a book and binge watching TV, you get it.  Remember the importance of having necessary clarity of the mind to discern which responsibility we should take on which one needs to wait.

How will you schedule time for REST this weekend?

With Balance & Wellness,
