Rest and Reflection for a Refreshed You


In the hustle and bustle of our busy lives, finding a moment of respite and self-reflection is a precious commodity. For me my time is normally Sunday but any day of the week that you can set aside a few hours just for you. Maybe it is around scheduling this time into your calendar, making it as important as any of your meetings. Why? because what gets scheduled tends to get done.


Rest is an essential aspect of maintaining physical and mental well-being. When you schedule this time into your weekly schedule it forms a weekly habit and is easier to do than not to do. Here are a few tips to make the most of your rest time:

  1. Sleep In: Allow yourself a few extra hours of sleep. Catching up on rest can do wonders for your energy and mood.

  2. Unplug: Disconnect from your devices, at least for a few hours. Give your mind a break from the constant stream of information and notifications.

  3. Pursue Leisure Activities: Do something you enjoy, whether it's reading, going for a nature walk, or simply lounging on the couch with a cup of tea. Choose activities that bring you joy.

The Power of Reflection can help you gain insight into your life, goals, and well-being. Here's how you can make the most of this reflective time:

  1. Journaling: Write down your thoughts and feelings. Journaling is a great way to gain clarity, process your emotions, and set goals.

  2. Meditation: Spend some quiet moments in meditation. It can help you become more mindful and self-aware.

  3. Goal Setting: Use this time to set goals for the upcoming week or month. Reflect on what you want to achieve and create a plan to get there.

  4. Gratitude: Reflect on the things you're thankful for. Expressing gratitude can enhance your overall sense of well-being.



Take this day whichever you choose to connect with loved ones. Whether it's a leisurely brunch, a phone call, or a visit, nurturing these relationships can be a meaningful part of your weekly routine.


Whatever day you take as a day of rest and reflection, holds tremendous value in our fast-paced world. It's a day to rejuvenate, contemplate, and connect with the things that matter most. By embracing the art of rest and reflection, you can enhance your overall well-being and create a positive foundation for the week ahead. So, make the most of your time out and remember that it's not just another day of the week; it's a day for you to rest, reflect, and recharge.
