Janine, I am in rest and quit mode this weekend. I really felt the call to just be this weekend and then I found your post just now!

yes-to rest ,pause, refresh is so important. My cat Sophie also knows how to rest. I do try to take time for rest and breathing and to clear my mind. It’s not just stopping the body because sometimes I stop the body. The mind has too much to think about sometimes I vacuum just to clear up my mind (And the dust & cat for of course), but then afterwards I lie down on the couch in the clean room- to just breath to rest. Rest actually works well after exerting for me. thanks for writing this!

I love that idea of vacuuming to clear your mind. Resting in a clean room is so satisfying! Thanks for sharing, Susan!

There’s good reason for the phrase, ‘I slept like a dog’. I love my sleep and by 8 pm every night, find myself yearning to put my feet up, pull up a warm comforter and sip a tea. When we had a 10 lb rescue (Jack), he and I would fall asleep together and by morning, the only thing you could see of Jack was a little black nose peeking out from the sheet. He taught me to sleep like a dog.

I love that idea, Heather! Homer sleeps with me, and gets cranky when I turn over or move. 🙄 But he's a good snuggler.

Yes! That's why I don't see patients on Fridays and don't work on the weekends (except for my retreats). Rest is so important!!
