Recharge Yourself

Every activity of life is enhanced by rest. From golf to boxing, players are given time between their performances to step back, renew themselves, and get a perspective. The greatest creators and inventors make use of frequent periods to tap into their creative unconscious: Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein were known for taking Cat naps in the midst of their experiments and returning with powerful insights. The sacred books tells that the heaven and the earth were created in six days, and on seventh day the creator rested.

If the creator of the universe took a day off to rest, certainly you and I can! Yet how many of us stop to recharge our batteries and remember that there is more to life than incessant activity? We live in a society obsessed with terminal doingness, We believe that our worth is determined by how much we produce, and we fear that if we step back for even a moment we will get behind and someone else will get ahead.

The cycle of activity and rest is as natural; as day and night, as colorful as seasons, and as vital as breathing. If you are always on the go, stopping to catch your breath will only empower you. Effective resting is an art that truly successful people have mastered.

The next time you feel overwhelmed, have the presence of mind to stop and catch your breath-it will make all the difference.
