Why We Emphasise the Importance of Rest

in Ecency10 months ago

Can you believe it? Another challenge has come and gone... Another month has come and gone! Yes, we're heading for the month of June already and that also means a new challenge.

But before we get to the next fun-filled and exciting challenge, we will first enjoy a week of rest!




Let's Take a Break...!

Here at DreemPort, we are conscious of the time you spend online and we realize the importance of spending time with your family and loved ones too! We believe that spending quality time with them is crucial.

We also believe that everybody needs rest so that they don't get overworked. That is why we believe in taking the weekends off.

Getting that much-needed rest will keep you motivated and excited to come back on Monday and start working on a new topic...or even a new challenge! It is also a way to protect our staff here at DreemPort and keep their morals high.

We aim to create a space where EVERYBODY can have fun and give expression to their creativity. It shouldn't become a burden and/or start feeling like "work"!

To ensure this, we take it even one step further...

Time of Rest Can Give You an Opportunity to Improve and Build!

We spend 3 weeks on each challenge/collaboration that we work on and then take one full week off. We feel this is important in order to keep those "creative juices" flowing without getting exhausted.

It gives you the opportunity to reflect on what you have written over the past three weeks. It also gives you the opportunity to absorb what you have read from other contributors.

How often have you done your research on a new topic and written a wonderful post about what you have learned? But when do you get the opportunity to reflect on what you have learned and actually learn how to apply it in your own life?

This is a personal opinion...but in my opinion, I believe what makes a difference between knowledge and wisdom is:

  1. It is one thing to have a lot of knowledge. And that is good. It is also great to be able to share your knowledge.

  2. But when you are able to apply that knowledge in your own life, it becomes wisdom. It enables you to lead by example!

During the one-week break, we also have the opportunity to interact with the new friends we made during the last challenge. Now we can build and maintain those all-important friendships. We can talk about what we have learned, some interesting facts we have read, or just have fun by interacting with our new-made friends.

This coming week is our week of rest before we have a new challenge coming up in June!

So, be sure to get some rest and get ready for the new challenge which will be announced next Sunday!

Yes! A new challenge, new people, new friends, and more fun things to expect in the month of June!

Enjoy your week of rest and see you on Hive!

From the Dreem Teem.

You're welcome.

Thanks 😊

You're welcome.

Hello Dreamers

Hope everyone is well. I'm not sure @juliamulcahy is still around? Been holding her I my thoughts for some months now. Hope she's okay 😔

Could you remove me from tags, please? I'm streamlining because time and health now.

In Love and enjoy the ride always ❤️

Sorry to hear about your health.
Hope you get well soon 💐

Hey you.

Well. We manage it. This isn't supposed to get better. Yet it did. I have doctors reports.

And then life and more chaos happened. :/

I'll get to all that if we get to that part. Right now we make good use of our time.

As we all should. Every day. Because we're all dying, really. I'm just fortunate / unfortunate enough to "get this" now.

Best wishes with the initiative❤️

Life keeps on happening. One way after the other.

You are right. We all are dying so we should try to live in whatever happenings we are.

I think being fortunate or unfortunate depends on our perceptions of the happening.

I wish you fortunate happenings though 😉

Lot of prayers with !LUV

Ditto, fellow traveler :D

It's all perception at the end of the day. I try and make sure mine is balanced and clear.

Ongoing process...

Take care of yourself on the road 👣❤️

You too, take care of yourself ❤️❤️❤️

Sure, @nickydee! I'll do that immediately, no problem👍! So sorry to hear about your health though...!

Thank you!

Hey. We are all dying, dude. We should prolly remember that more often :)

We would make better use of our time.

I've made peace with things. Maybe I'll even fix this. Anything is possible. And if not. That's okay too.

Don't forget to enjoy life in between the race. 🌼🪷

Yes, you are right! We should remember that more often indeed!

I'm glad that you've made peace with things, but maybe, if you can fix this, it would be great!?

Thanks for the tag, Jaco 😃

Hive Power Up Day - June 1st 2023

Thank you, @hivebuzz!

That's great @dreemport! We're thrilled with your commitment to Hive! Let's go for this new goal!

Couldn't agree more with the need to listen to our mind and our body... and sometimes even our heart... regular time for rest, reflection, soul searching, exploring off the beaten path is a must. In my case - even just getting to bed earlier for a week or two and getting some solid rest for my body. I find that my own writing journey (just to focus on something relatable to everyone here) needs to have breaks built in... although for me they usually force themselves upon me🤣 I'm a bit stubborn like that!!! If I get on a roll creatively, I will write into the early hours, sometimes pulling an all-nighter! At those times I seem to have more energy than I know what to do with... but then just as quickly... it all dissipates and I struggle to come back. I find myself caught in that place between being desperate to write... and lacking the inspiration and energy to put pen to paper. These Dreemport break weeks allow me to focus on a few other writing goals and to run the dreem-wotw monthly writing challenge. I am fortunate to have special friends on Hive who both encourage me to write when I am struggling... and who allow me the rest times. Everyone's rest patterns look different... so if you see someone you know engaging in an unusual pattern, please be sure to check in on them, make sure they are ok, and offer words of encouragement and support. Just knowing that people care... and have noticed that you are not around... can make all the difference. You never know what people are going through off-chain... so many times it has taken just a simple interaction with a Hive friend in Discord to kickstart things again for me. And sometimes it takes a little longer... but the connections we make here mean something.

Loved this article @jacoalberts @dreemport

!LUV !ALIVE !hivebits

Glad you loved the article, @samsmith1971! I love the way you start your comment by mentioning that we need to listen to our bodies! It's great to have the support of our friends and family... It's good when we listen to their advice... But if we can learn the art of listening to our bodies... Wow, we would save ourselves a lot of agonies...live healthier lives, and have more energy in general!

Thank you for sharing your views with us! We appreciate you!

Have always love the style of dreemport challenges, never knew dreemport had a resting week till now, i was scheming around hoping to find a detail on the type of challenge this week then i found this. Guess i'll be going for that break too😃

Enjoy the break, @fredaig😀👍! The new challenge will be announced soon and some fun things coming up in June! Watch this space!

Sure thanks☺️

We also appreciate everything you are doing for @dreemport and we appreciate you very much!

Thanks so much :) Honestly sometimes I wonder if I'm doing enough, so this really means a lot!

Wisdom and knowledge are really two different things. Knowledge doesn't necessarily needs reflection and action,wisdom does.

May God let us among those who have wisdom 🙏

It all starts with data which we use to turn into information how we use that information is our knowledge, it is has been one of the dilemmas of knowledge management as to what is wisdom... For me if we are not acting on that information properly it is not knowledge nor wisdom, just incorrect use of the information in front of us,,

For me if we are not acting on that information properly it is not knowledge nor wisdom, just incorrect use of the information in front of us,,

This is interesting... It's not about "not applying the information", but the incorrect use of the information in front of us. That also makes sense!

Thank you for sharing your view on this, @tengolotodo! Have an awesome day!

Jaco.

My pleasure Jaco I have a Masters in Knowledge Management and could go on and on lol

Very true! Wisdom does need reflection and action indeed!

Thanks for sharing this with us, @amberkashif!
