When it is Time to Take a Rest – Vol. 504, June 20, 2019
In living our very overscheduled and harried lives, we are creating great stress in our bodies. Stress is the cause of most illnesses. So, it is very important for we humans to understand the importance of rest and relaxation in our lives.
First, I want you to think about the normal day you live. Notice how you feel when you get out of bed, go through your morning routine, start your day, do your day and complete your day. How many things did you have scheduled in that day of yours? How many extra items showed up during the day that needed your attention that you hadn’t planned for?
One area that causes a lot of stress has come to my attention given all the traveling that I have been doing over the past few months. The one thing that I have realized is the amount of time people are spending on the road, trapped in their cars dealing with traffic and road work. I do not know how many hours it has added to the average person’s commute, but I can tell you that I was most distressed when I realized that I was going to be stuck in Maryland for the night. This was due to terrible traffic during rush hour and the road work that was being done. Now, do understand that this was all of one day of utter frustration for me, but for many others, it is a daily experience. How does one deal with this day in and day out when it is required to get to the job? Or, how about the subways and trains, full to capacity, nowhere to sit, stuck standing holding on to a bar which may mean reaching around someone else. And, that is only the commute!
Look, we humans were not meant to be in a constant state of stress, pressured by all the necessary things that need to be accomplished to be able to live. Yet, the world in which we live, demands this of the majority of people. And, this is why so many people are now dealing with anxiety, depression, substance abuse and many types of chronic illness.
What can you do to lessen the stress that is your daily life?
What can you do to bring health and wellbeing back into your life?
Because I do know this after this last year in particular. Your chronological age doesn’t really matter. If you are living under constant stress, your body will not be able to keep up with it all, especially if you are feeding it a bunch of over processed garbage.
Think about the cost to your health for living a life of constant movement. Think about the cost to your health of forcing yourself to do so many things that you are not interested in doing, and yet feel obligated to do. Think of all the stuff that is on your plate, that you could delegate to someone else. Think about what you could do instead with that precious time that you just bought back for yourself.
Our lives are only as contented as the alignment that we have with the activities that fill our days. It is through a contented life that true peace of mind and fulfillment come.
I know of many people who dumped there 80+ work weeks to do other things, realizing that a great salary was of little good when there was no time to enjoy it. I know many people who stopped worrying what others thought of them, as they passed on so-called family obligations to be able to spend their precious time doing activities that nurtured them. This is not to say that one needs to be selfish. It is to say that one needs to value one’s time. Take the time you need to rest and relax. Because, if you don’t, your body will force you to do it anyway, and trust me, you won’t like the way you feel when your body tells you it cannot take any more pressure.
I know having ended up in the hospital a couple of times with a kidney infection on one occasion and dehydration another time. My body was so spent with the obligations that it just broke down and forced me to STOP everything. I don’t want this to happen to you, so listen to your body, listen to the inner wisdom that is your unconscious, subconscious mind and protect your physical and emotional health.
