Rest is not only an essential part of self-care but also a rhythm that has incredible benefits as we learn how to develop it well. We all have ideas of what self-care is and whether or not it's worth our time, but some of those ideas can fall in the category of "bad definitions." The same often happens with rest. We all have ideas of what rest is, what it looks like for each of us, and whether or not it's worth our time.
But what if we have bad definitions of what rest really is?
What if it goes beyond whether or not it's "worth our time"?
What if we not only need rest to be redefined, but what if engaging in rest is also how we're hardwired?
Brian Bales, the pastor of Christian Fellowship Church in Ashburn, VA, once again invited me to join him on the “Welcome to the Drive Home from the Nation’s Capital” show on WAVA 105.1 Radio for a conversation about rest (or sabbath).
And if you haven't yet had the chance to check them out, take a moment to read the two most recent blog posts which are all about self-care, what that really means, why it's valuable, and include practical ways to engage in self-care.
