Sundays are usually a day that I get ‘everything’ done.  I rush to laundry, go to the grocery store and squeeze in my yoga/meditation practice.  However, this past Sunday was a day of nothing.  I slept in and take care of myself.  These past 2 weeks have been full of rushing to get this and that done and I felt that I needed to break up the repetitiveness.  ​

I didn’t fill my mind with knowledge.  I didn’t read a magazine, book or Facebook post.  I rested my mind, body and spirit.  I did make food.  I made incredibly seasoned black beans and mashed potatoes.  Other than that, I didn’t even leave the apartment to have housekeeping come in.​

Rest is important.  When you start to build routines or habits, it probably should be resisted to break the habits you are trying to build.  Following a rigid lifestyle doesn’t provide anything fruitful in your life. Having the freedom in life to let the river take you where it wants to is very important.​

so, when you feel like your body and your mind have had enough, reward yourself by staying in your pajamas all day and not allowing anything to o to the mind that will stick.  Your mind and body will thank you for it. ​
