“Here’s Something New To Feel Good About Today!”

“The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.” Sydney J. Harris

Do you ever find yourself in a crazy busy mode where you feel exhausted but just don’t make the time to stop and relax? Learn to take some time for yourself when you feel rushed, scattered or just plain tired. Share with us what you do to slow down and rejuvenate yourself.

I am one of those people who can push herself too hard. At times I have to force myself to just stop and take a break. If you are like me, this post is for you.

My friend Colleen once worked with a brilliant scientist who liked to say, “Rest is productive. Exhaustion is counter-productive.” Two of his other favorite sayings were, “Play is restorative,” and “Moderation in all things.”

Next time you find yourself pushing to hard, take a few moments to breathe, go for a walk, have a cup of tea. Down time is never wasted, it’s essential for your good health and happiness.
