Rest.
In the Bible, there are many stories that Jesus tells about rest and the importance of it. The earliest rest is mentioned in Genesis in the creation story. After everything was created and God called it good, He rested. He understood that He needed to do so. We see this through His ministry and time on Earth. He would work, perform miracles, and take time to rest.
Rest.
One thing that many of us struggle with, yet our bodies desperately need. One of my 2024 manifestations has been to get the rest I need this year. Whether that comes in the form of sleep, a vacation, or a quiet day at home. 2023 was an extremely taxing year for me and by the end of it, I truly felt like I was not going to make it. I was not fully listening to my body as it told me, to slow down. I kept running towards what I thought I needed, yet all I truly needed was rest.
Rest.
For the last 28 days, I have craved out times, daily, to rest. It truly has changed my life for the better. I am seeing an improvement not only in my mental health, but in my daily activities, and work. I can pour and give more to friendships, things that I am passionate about, and my craft as I am taking the time I need to recharge and fill myself back up.
Rest.
I encourage you to take time and rest. Whether that is in the form of listening to your favorite music, journaling your thoughts, or whatever it may be. Take that time to fuel your soul and fill your bucket so that you can give to others in your daily life.
Rest and take care of yourself, friends. I promise you, you won't regret it! Sending you all much love and hugs!
