“We’ll get some rest, reenergize and get that focus back. It’s all about the mental edge.” Sharon Versyp “
Today we live in fast pace, hustle and bustle society where life pulls at you from multiple directions leaving you at the end of the day depleted, exhausted and drained. You are accustomed to rising early and ending your day late in the evening because you often put more into one day in which it leaves you sleep deprived. I clearly understand you have to work hard and build your dream while working in a career until you are in a position where your dream job pays you a good salary. I understand you maybe a single mother having to work an extra job to make ends meet. I understand that you may have to work a full time job while pursuing your higher education degree. Believe me I can relate and understand the enormous and immense responsibility you carry. However, in doing so I ask that you consider taking some time to truly get ample sleep and rest. If you can’t achieve the recommended 8 hours of sleep a night, then find time to wind down at the end of the day. It’s not healthy to live life in what I call “the express line.” The express line is like living on an express way where there are no signal lights in which you stop at the red light and slow down at the yellow light and go ahead when the light is green. Thus I challenge you to get off the express way and take at least 5 minutes a day or the end of the day to just breathe, and take in the moment and then take some time for yourself one weekend out of the month turn in earlier, maybe sleep in later, or just relax and get off your feet for a period time. It’s while we rest that our mind, and body can be restored, recharged and revived.
