The luxury of rest

Slow Down

To Slow Down is a must, and if i omit, my body does remember me.

I’ll be slow blogging for the next days, as i must rest from yet another sinus cold. I know i could buy cheap-but-strong medicine, this way i could continue to run and run, ignoring my body’s urge to rest, my soul’s need for calm, but i’d rather choose to just stop and rest. I know this is luxury, since resting and relaxing are really expensive medicine these days, one that just a few can afford.

To learn to relax - through meditation, yoga, sports, traveling - will be a much needed activity in the coming years, as stress is becoming the number 1 disease in our culture. On this, i wish you all to be able to Slow Down a little, ’till i get back on my feet.

    Salut. Je lis ton blogue depuis quelques temps, il est très inspirant. Ton travail aussi.

    Se reposer, ça fait longtemps que je n’ai pas entendu parler de ça! Mais j’approuve complètement. Bon repos.

    Se reposer, ca ne semble plus exister dans les conversations - peut-être que ca fait looser, que ca projète une image vulnérable de la personne?

    C’est fou! On devrait avoir une semaine internationale du Repos!

    C’est pour ça que dans certains milieux de travail ça devient une qualité de ne jamais se reposer… On ne veut pas avoir l’air de s’écouter, d’être douillette, jusqu’à l’épuisement. Prendre du temps pour récuperer c’est une saine attitude et c’est surtout normal!

    Yeah, we do need to slow now every now and then. I am all for taking pauses - pauseability to consider possibilities.

    Came to your lovely blog via decor8.

    Do pause by mine.
