Other words for relax are - decompress, unwind, loosen up, slow down. My cat is a perfect example that gives a visual for this meaning....
We can always learn from our furry four legged friends who can teach us some valuable lessons in life. A quote by Charles Spurgeon - "Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength... It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less."
Join me at the Turn-Up Patch in two weeks on Monday, October 22nd. And remember to take a few mini-furloughs during your day.
The word “mindfulness” has pretty much been demonized by our church. But it can be an important element in our over all health. There have been some interesting articles on this. To simply rest, relax, allow our minds to stop racing endless thoughts, but listen to your breathing, allow muscles to relax, be aware of the environment around you quietly and know God designed all of it. You can pray, meditate as well. But allowing our brains to rest when we are conscious as well as when in sleep, can definitely add to your daily quality of life. It is obvious TurnUp has noooo problem relaxing!
