Invest in Rest
Life can be demanding.
We’re frequently pulled in different directions. Some do a really good job of taking time out to rest and recuperate while others struggle. Is rest just one more thing standing in the way of you knocking out another task? How high is rest on your priority list? The load on our lives can be heavy, and your time can be consumed daily activities. If you’re in college or high school, you have class, and if you’re a professional athlete, executive or home-raising-a-child, demand for your time is very high.
Maybe you've heard of LeBron James’s $1.5M yearly spend on recovery, Tom Brady’s recovery pajama line, and Serena Williams’ 7pm bedtime. Well, Tom Brady was right, “You can only work as hard as your ability to recover.” To build strength, you need rest. To reach any level of fitness you must build rest and recovery into your plan. Without rest, you become susceptible to injury. Rest enables you to stay mentally sharp and focused. Lack of rest leaves you feeling sluggish and lethargic.
In this episode, Ty Pinkney talks about investing in rest, and how getting enough sleep and downtime can help mitigate stress in your life and prevent overwhelming your system by taking guiltless "me" time.
Proper rest has a direct correlation to living a happier life, and getting through the day with a clear head and focus. We'll look at work life balance: what it means, why it's important, and how you can start balancing your work and personal lives today. You know your body needs rest. You know your mind needs rest. And, lack of rest takes a toll on your ability to sleep restfully. But how do you make it happen?
Rest is important for your body, mind, and soul, and part of a healthy lifestyle. Things like taking more vacations or carving out space for meditation, helps. Investing in rest could save you money; getting enough sleep can help prevent chronic diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. In fact, sleeping fewer than six hours per night may increase your risk for all three of these conditions!
Just 15 minutes of meditation or light reading can help reduce stress and improve your overall health! Rest can be incredibly beneficial to our mental health.
Some of the benefits of rest include:
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Improved mood
- Decreased blood pressure
- Chronic pain relief
- Increased energy and focus
- Increased creativity
- Improved relationships with others
- Improved immune health
- stronger cardiovascular system
Ty Pinkney's Tips to help you gt the rest you deserve:
Tip #1: Set aside time for rest. Add more time in your day for relaxing activities like reading or meditation.
Tip #2: Assess what makes you happy and prioritize it over what doesn't. Carve out some "me" time with friends.
Tip #3: If all else fails, don't beat yourself up about it! Be kinder to yourself when things don't go according to plan.
Tip #4: Unplug yourself from the busyness and chaos of your surrounding world. Turn off your phone or put it on mute. Ignore social media. Be selfish with your time.
Tip #5: Learn to Say NO!
