Rest refreshes and renews us

Rest

Rest refreshes and renews me.

Rest restores me and gives me energy to be fully present in the world. When I push myself too hard, I feel worn down and depleted with little to give to myself or others. But when I rest, not only do I recharge my body, I recharge my whole being. Respite replenishes the capacity to handle the daily ups and downs of life. Rested, I can more easily practice patience and kindness with myself and everyone else I encounter.

Rest is vital to well-being, so I make time to slow down and take breaks. I seek support when I need it and accept it gratefully. As I care for myself and prioritize rest and sleep, I am restored and free to share my best self.

In the stillness of rest, I experience the peace and tranquility that rejuvenates me.

For those who enter God’s rest also cease from their labors as God did from his.—Hebrews 4:10
