When was the last time you felt rested? What do you do in your daily and weekly life that feels like rest?
Rest and busyness:
We can’t talk about rest without discussing busyness. Why do we wear busyness proudly like a badge?People seem to love saying how busy they are. Do we say it to make us feel important or valuable? Does busyness show our level of success? Is it some sort of status symbol to look and sound busy? If so, then how do we find the rest that we need and desire? How do we begin to value rest?
What is rest?
Claudia Hammond, author of The Art of Rest, How to Find Respite in the Modern Age, defines rest as wakeful rest: an activity that leaves you feeling restored and revitalized.. Rest is not sleep but rather a wakeful activity.
