Do you scan your body and heed its warning signs? Or do you continue to push on until you get a huge wake-up call, in the form of an illness or injury? Most of us have been so indoctrinated with the work ethic that we have trouble relaxing and have lost the essential art of rejuvenation. Just as the body needs sleep at night to recuperate and repair itself, time away from stress and being on the job are essential to retain a sense of energy and purpose in what you are doing.
In fact, resting may just give you the perspective to begin to question what you are doing in your life and ensure that it is in alignment with your life purpose. When you take time to step away and truly evaluate what you are spending your life doing, it may become clear that you are not necessarily aligned with your highest purpose. The longer you remain in the busy mode, the more difficult it is to reflect and wake up to the trap you may have gotten sucked into. What is your body telling you? Is it asking for more rest and recovery time? Is it asking for more exercise or time in nature? When you learn to honour your body’s signals, you will be able to achieve a more consistently fulfilling life, filled with the joy of being on purpose in everything you do.
