Nuestra intención hacia el descanso va en correspondencia con la manera en que vemos la vida, culturalmente, muchos hemos aprendido a asociar el descanso como pérdida de tiempo y en lo que tenemos un momento libre, en seguida buscamos “aprovecharlo” con una actividad “productiva”.

A veces el no descansar se convierte en nuestra vía para huir de nosotros mismos, de nuestras emociones y sentimientos, para tapar las carencias y “sobrellevar” los vacíos, transformándonos en verdaderos frenéticos del hacer, si nos detenemos a pensar un poco sobre este asunto nos daremos cuenta que, por más que hagamos, esos vacíos permanecen, afrontarlos y trabajar en superarlos es lo que nos puede permitir encontrar bienestar y tener descanso.

Gracias por ser y estar

Dessss-can-saaaaaaaar, a beautiful, sonorous word, that just by closing your eyes and breathing at a slow, soft rhythm from the first breath, you will already feel relaxation in your body. Let's try it:

Breathe in deeply, slowly, very slowly and while you do it mentally pronounce the syllable desssssssssssssssss.

Hold the air while you pronounce the syllable can

Exhale softly, slowly, very slowly while you pronounce in your mind the elongated syllable: saaaaaaaaaar. Repeat three or four more times.

How do you feel, did you relax your muscles, was your mind focused on the syllables you were pronouncing, did you disconnect, in those few minutes, from the pending things? If your answers are affirmative, you have rested for a while.

To rest is to make a pause in the routine, a time in which our body, mind and spirit enter into rest, slowing down the rhythm of what we have been doing. Sleeping is perhaps, in theory, the greatest manifestation of rest, when it is pleasant, continuous for as long as our body demands it.

However, the pace of life we lead today tends to take hours away from rest, tying one activity with another, doing multiple tasks at the same time and carrying with us the unpleasant feeling that we are not finished and that there are still many things to do.

We are aware of the negative consequences that fatigue brings to our body and mind: we are losing strength and physical and emotional impulse to continue doing, which manifests itself in stress, anxiety, or on the contrary we have a low mood where apathy makes its entrance and if we continue in the same thing can deepen bringing greater consequences, such as losing, progressively, our ability to concentrate, attention and memory.

On the other hand, fatigue is the enemy of creativity, of inspiration, it keeps us away from inner well-being and from maintaining that contact with ourselves so necessary to weigh situations, to direct our paths, because it is when we rest that we can look inward and take stock of how we are doing and if we are on the path of what we want to live.

While it is true that sleep is one of the main sources of rest, it is still a physiological need that our body demands, while rest is closer to our intentionality, to that conscious willingness to take time to pause, which can range from doing nothing, "without regrets" to perform activities that relax us, give us pleasure, distract us or quiet our thoughts and this is where the range opens because there are many actions that we can perform with the intention of resting.

Everyone knows what are those activities that lead to rest, perhaps the most important thing in this aspect is the attitude to perform it, I explain: it is not the same to go for a walk with the intention of relaxing the body and mind than to do it to achieve a performance goal and improve times; it is not the same to read a book with recreational intention than to do it to analyze or learn something particular; or watch a movie and let yourself get involved in its plot than to see it to make a review.

Our intention towards rest goes in correspondence with the way we see life, culturally, many of us have learned to associate rest as a waste of time and when we have a free moment, we immediately seek to "take advantage of it" with a "productive" activity.

Sometimes not resting becomes our way to flee from ourselves, from our emotions and feelings, to cover up our shortcomings and "cope" with our emptiness, transforming us into real frenzied doers. If we stop to think a little about this matter we will realize that, no matter how much we do, those emptinesses remain, facing them and working to overcome them is what can allow us to find wellbeing and have rest.

Thank you for being and being
