Schedule A Day Off

Daily Reflection
It is very important to take time for yourself and to take time to rest. Resting is an essential part of your spiritual practice. Resting helps to rejuvenate you and it also helps you be more kind and compassionate to others. Many of us do not work regular rest periods into our lives. Many of us feel that we cannot take a break or do not deserve a break. Your life will expand and improve if you take regular breaks.

In your journal today reflect on the last time you took a break. What did you do? How did it make you feel? What were the positive results? What did you think as you were taking this break?

I also want you to take out your calendar and schedule a day off just for yourself. Schedule some time for reflection, perhaps take a walk or do whatever you most enjoy doing. Take your journal with you on your day of rest and record the experience.
