Archive for the ‘Rest’ Category
As I see it the most important and vital part of the NEWSTART program is time spent with God, I posted an article on this a little while ago. Followed closely by Nutrition and Exercise. I think all the other categories, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, Air and Rest complement and support the top three factors.
On a weekly/daily basis this is what I do.
Water
I was really fortunate that I had a mother that taught me to drink water from an early age, so I didn’t have the additional task of having to change my tastes to do something that is extremely vital for us on a daily basis.
I drink 2.5-3 litres of water on a daily basis. I find without water I loose my concentration, I lack energy and just can’t sustain the workload I do on a daily basis.
Sunshine
I try to get out in the sunshine at least 3-4 times a week, it always leaves me feeling vitalised and literally buzzing with energy. I think it could be something to do with the endorphins it helps our bodies release. Alongside of all the awesome things that it does, in summer I am hoping to exercise outside as well. In my article I think I mentioned how the Roman’s and Spartans used to train in the sun, because they already worked out, they got stronger. (more…)
Lack of sleep or not resting well is another key element in the NEWSTART program. This is a topic that has recently been inundated with a lot of research, and it has been gathering momentum in scientific circles. But before I get to the research, I would first like to draw your attention to society, better still, let us bring it home, and personalise it.
How busy are we? I sometimes look at my life, and wish I had a clone, to do all the things required during a day. I think in western society especially, we don’t have the time to really rest, I often catch myself planning the next day, while trying to just snooze off for the day at hand. Jesus once said “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble”. Those words couldn’t be more perfect for the society in which I live in, we are always worrying about tomorrow, and fretting, we don’t stop, not even to sleep, or really rest. We seemed fatigued, and dying for a lack of energy to do everything, could the solution be as simple as getting a good nights sleep? (more…)
