Rest When You're tired
Looking for inspiration and just not finding it. So many ideas and plans running through your mind and in your heart and just not finding the way to put them into action. Yeah, we've all been there, we'll all go back there too. This is the place for you to Rest When You're Tired.
It is said that when you are tired you should do certain exercises to energize you, make sure you are well hydrated, eat healthily, snack on fruit and nuts, avoid the starches and processed foods, avoid caffeine, unless it's in Green tea which is good for you. Truth is, if you are tired, you are simply tired. No amount of energizing exercise, hydration, healthy foods, snacks etc., will give you the rest that your body is crying out for. Sometimes we just have to rest. Pure and simple. Not only a good nights sleep but down time.
Relaxation
Relax in the garden, next to the pool, go out of town. Watch a movie. Read a book. Drink wine by the fire ... just find your way to relax. Not do ... painting may be relaxing for you, but when you are tired, it is still time to rest. Just rest and relax
Or spend the day refueling and laze on the beach, gazing at the vast expanse of sea. This is the one place where I feel close to God. the ocean is so powerful, so beautiful, so mysterious, so peaceful - all of these things ... and more.
Needing to Rest Is Not A Sign of Weakness
It is a sign of your humanity, your frailty as a human being. One that needs to be and not always do. That is how we have been created. Perfectly "knitted together in our mother's womb" (Psalm 139 :13)
So rest oh human, just rest!
Tomorrow You'll Return
With all the energy you need to meet what you have been created to do. All your skills and talents and abilities will still be there. All you need to do is rest.
So I am off to snuggle with my little Ginger Ninja ....
Yes, It Is Me I Refer To
I look forward to returning tomorrow as an energized tiger (one of my favourite animals) ready to take on the world of online marketing once again. Ready to action the things in my head and on my heart ... with the strength and the focus of this majestic creature...
Until then beautiful people .... If you're feeling the same way I am, take this sage advice ... Rest When You're Tired.
Blessings always

Thank you for your "relaxing" post. Louise! Love the pics!
Our body cannot talk, the only way to tell us is by showing us the symptom. Yet, human tend to force it to continue operating. Hence, the machine is damaged further and there are no spare parts to change. Have a good rest when we are tired, it's true!:o)
Hi Terand
i agree - we have to listen to our bodies before we damage them.
Thank you for stopping to read and share here, I really appreciated it.

I Like how you put it: If you are tired, you are simply tired.
I have been so tired and lazy these past few days. Just did not feel like to do anything, not researching, not writing contents, not brainstorming and so on. But I am determined to write one today. Have a good one everyone.
Hi Ben
Yeah, sometimes we have to stop all the activity and just rest.
You will get back there when you are ready.
Just know that Kyle, Carson and the community are rooting for you :-)

Hi Shaunna
I like that "Rest is essential to being active." How true!
Thank you for your share too.
Feeling much better rested today, have decided to take things a bit more slowly today anyway. :-)

Hi Gary
Exactly, ninjas need rest too. Normally my little Ginger Ninja will cozy up for the down time. Typically, he decided it was play time - thankfully he went outside to do that whilst I enjoyed a relaxing move.
Thank you for stopping to read and comment.

Yes Louise, breaks are beneficial. I would agree only if I am confident I will come back and focus on the project.
I have a tendency of resting too long and by the time I come back that spirit is somewhat lost.
I would take a break and IMMEDIATELY COME BACK!
Just my opinion Louise, great post my dear friend!

Hi Frank
Yeah, I have been guilty of that in the past - resting too long.
Thank you for the great advise, I rested last night and am back today. Today is a somewhat slower pace, but that is intentional too. Helps me think creatively.
Thank you for sharing your time by stopping to read and give great advice. Really appreciated.

You welcome Louise, may I share an invitation to check out my recent post? I think it's informative and you might be aware of this information. It has all to do with health.
I really think you'd like it, imho! It's my last article.
I promise you will learn something!

Excellent points I need to follow. Relaxation sometimes seems a luxury that I can’t afford to take!
Hi Mark
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.
Agreed, relaxation does feel like a luxury at times - the challenge is, if we do not rest, our bodies will force us to.
One day at a time.
Blessings

PS Reminds me of the expression "How do you eat an elephant? (not that I ever would) One bite at a time" :-)
