We often feel the struggle with staying inspired in our life. We started on the path of growth, but somehow we're now just getting by. This quote started me on the path of realizing that I needed a reset in certain areas of my life. "Everything works better when you unplug it, including you." The world doesn't celebrate rest so how do we begin to take time for ourself in the midst of hustle culture? We have to start by realizing that taking time to rest is easier than we think.
As much as i'd recommend a 24 hour sabbath, it's not realistic for most of us to start there. Rest is not doing nothing, it's doing something that fills you up. To be alone with yourself is to be at peace with God. Not just being alone, but actually unplugging from the world and putting down our phones and distractions. We often avoid silence and alone time because we're not sure of what we'll find. Our emotions and feelings bubble up in moments of silence.
We also take the time to journal and remember all we're called to do in life. It causes us to face the realities of the things that matter most. Part of this starts with learning to say no. We have to set healthy boundaries and create space for ourselves to rest and refill.
We all have a mind, body and soul. I've realized that most of us are not good at one of these. For me, I neglected my body for many years. I realize now that a healthy focus on all 3 of these things creates a balance and wholeness that's needed to be at peace.
