Rest is a skill you can practise
Most of us don't need another workout. We need to learn how to stop.
We treat rest as what happens when everything else is done. For most people, that moment never arrives.
Rest can be practised like any other skill. Ten minutes lying on the floor with your legs up a wall. A slow walk without headphones. Breathing out for longer than you breathe in.
At first it feels uncomfortable, even lazy. After a few weeks, many people find it's the most useful ten minutes of their day.
Try this
- Put ten minutes of rest in your calendar like a meeting.
- Try legs-up-the-wall before bed.
- Breathe in for four, out for six, for two minutes.
