Rest: A Necessity That Requires Action

Rest defined by Oxford Dictionary: cease work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself, or recover.

Rest becomes an action verb. Simply waiting for relaxation to happen might not be enough. We need to  consciously create space and time in our schedules for rest. This might involve planning for breaks throughout the day, setting boundaries around work hours, or prioritizing activities that promote relaxation.

While taking time for rest is essential for our well-being, it can be challenging to achieve given the many demands we face.  Prioritizing rest becomes crucial, even though it might seem counterintuitive. Getting the rest we need is not a luxury, but rather a necessity for maintaining our physical and mental health, as well as our overall productivity.
