Rest & Relaxation
- Why do we need to relax & rest?
- Always having to create is stressful, expectations can be high for crafters who use accountability to get things done.
- Culture today emphasizes the need to get things done.
- Sometimes we need to step back from things that are stressful to be better in the future.
Rest & Relax
- Thinking of now instead of what I am going to do later
- Some people have judgements on what is ‘acceptable’ rest & relaxation.
- Muscles & thoughts need a cool down time to get better if they’re not doing well.
A few ideas to rest & relax
- For some people repetitive actions help to rest & relax the mind.
- For some, putting effort into a new project can drown out thoughts of other things that are bothering you.
Depends on the situation & the task at hand.
Depends on your values.
- Value multitasking, rest & relax will come more easily if doing multiple things at once.
- For others, it’s better to just sit & veg out somewhere.
Use music to help with resting & relaxing.
How do you rest & relax the best?
