An Intentional Relaxation Experience
We have all at times, experienced a sleepless night or two. There can be a lot of factors that can contribute to sleep deprivation - such as poor sleep hygiene, lifestyle choices, work obligations, hormonal issues - to name but a few.
Lack of proper sleep can have unsettling affects in waking life - causing tiredness and irritability and poor concentration. Sleep deprivation on a long term basis, can take its toll on mental and physical health. Since the introduction of working/studying from home, the workload of the average person, has multiplied and accelerated to unprecedented levels. Endless hours in front of screens, impossible deadlines, blurred boundaries between work/college and home life. Add to that what’s happening on the news, and our addiction to social media all contribute to heightened stress levels.
We have been conditioned to work hard. We promote, and even aggrandise being busy and stressed as a sign of success. We won’t allow ourselves time to be sick or to heal.
When do we prioritise time for ourselves? Have we forgotten how to REST?
Taking time to “consciously rest” is more and more vital in our rapidly changing environment. It is time well spent to intentionally step off the merry-go-round, sink into stillness and replenish our batteries.
