Genuine rest is an active and deliberate practice that nurtures the mind, body, and soul. It's a state of being that fosters renewal, enabling individuals to recharge, heal, and flourish. Rest involves intentional pauses, allowing oneself to step back, reflect, and refuel.
Many of us have that one teacher we remember. The teacher who helped us learn and grow gave us the confidence to explore and master new talents and skills. The teacher who encouraged us to strive for more and helped us reach our potential.
We often don’t see the compounding results, either positive or negative, of small decisions until much later in our lives.
Busyness and tiredness in the twenty-first century is a far greater topic than we have time for in this short post, but it did get me thinking. I decided that for thirty days that I would try an experiment.
There is no one that isn’t or hasn’t been impacted by education. No matter who you speak to, whatever their age, social background, country of birth or belief system, everybody has a story about education and how it has impacted their lives.
No one wants to live like this, but it’s so easy to fall into and so hard to get out. How does it latch onto us? Fatigue? Busyness? Lack of purpose? We start to feel weary, bored, stuck, and sick. Hopelessness sets in and then we flatline, for weeks, months, and YEARS.
