There is More — Part 4: Embracing Rest

THERE IS MORE — PART 4: EMBRACING REST

The journey of more is a journey of expansion. We are growing and stretching ourselves in new ways, both physically and mentally. This can be a very exciting time, but it can also be a time of great stress.

If we are not careful, we can get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and forget to take care of ourselves. We can start to feel overwhelmed and exhausted. This is where the gift of rest comes in.

Rest is not just about taking a break from our activities. It is about coming back to God and receiving His strength and guidance. When we rest, we are able to clear our minds and hearts, so that we can hear God's voice and be led by Him.

There are many ways to embrace rest. Here are a few tips:

1. Set boundaries. It is important to set boundaries in our lives so that we do not overextend ourselves. This means saying no to things that are not a priority and making time for things that are.
2. Take breaks. It is important to take breaks throughout the day, even if it is just for a few minutes. Get up and move around, or take some time to relax and clear your head.
3. Get enough sleep. Sleep is essential for our physical and mental health. Make sure you are getting enough sleep each night so that you can function at your best.
4. Spend time in nature. Spending time in nature can be a great way to relax and de-stress. Go for a walk in the park, hike in the woods, or sit by the ocean.
5. Connect with God. Spending time with God is the best way to find true rest. When we come to Him, He gives us His peace and strength.

Why is rest important on the journey of more?

There are a few reasons why rest is important on the journey of more. First, rest allows us to refuel physically, mentally, and emotionally. When we are rested, we are better able to focus, make decisions, and handle stress.

Second, rest helps us to stay connected to God. When we are busy and stressed, it can be easy to get disconnected from God. But when we take time to rest, we are able to come back to Him and receive His strength and guidance.

Third, rest helps us to stay motivated. When we are constantly running on empty, it can be easy to get discouraged and give up. But when we take time to rest, we are able to renew our motivation and keep moving forward.
