Personal Entry #3: Rest
This semester has been insane. I have felt physically, mentally, and spiritually for several months just how busy it has kept me. I have always assumed that rest involved sitting around and doing nothing or relaxing but this semester I have learned a lot about the true meaning of rest. First I have learned that rest is incredibly important. Carving out time for rest keeps one very engaged in the things they are doing when not resting. I have also learned that rest is not reserved to doing nothing. I have been able to find rest in sport, conversation with friends, movies, and all sorts of activities that require activity. Rest can be found in all sorts of things if they give you a break from the mundane life. The last thing I've learned about rest is that sometimes you have to fight for it. Life can get so busy that there will be times you have to tell people no in order to have time to yourself or with friends so you can actually be recharged to continue working.
