After a long day at work, we frequently unwind by watching TV or lying down on the bed. This is how we passed the time without doing anything productive. It's fine to rest and relax for a bit, but the question is how long.
We all get lazy and waste a lot of time doing nothing. "If you love life, don't waste time," Bruce Lee once stated.Do we truly require rest?
I mean, it's not like 20 or 50 years ago, when most routine labour required physical effort. Previously, most people spent the entire day doing a lot of work with their bodies rather than machinery.
Do you expend all of your physical energy during the day? If so, you should get some physical rest. Your body is already in physical comfort if you sit all day in a comfortable chair performing your paper/computer work.
Today, most of us sit in front of a computer or an automated machine, using our minds rather than our bodies. We don't do much physical activity. So, what is the point of your rest: to provide mental rest. Why not spend your vacation resting: When I say rest, I mean sitting or lying down idle at home or watching TV/News all the time. There is nothing wrong with taking a road trip or going out for fun.
However, if you are at home during the holidays, take advantage of the opportunity. The moment we are in will never return. Do something meaningful with your life.
"Make the most of yourself....because you are all there is of you."
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
We should make the most of each day. So we should either enjoy our lives or work to improve them.Why don't politicians, actors, and businesspeople take a break?
You are aware that they do more work than you do. They are more deserving of sleep than you are. Of course, they have greater comfort in life. Even Nevertheless, the majority of them do not get 7 hours of sleep per day.
What keeps them going: they enjoy what they do. They are following their ambitions. They strive day and night to excel in whatever they do. If you have the same passion for your aspirations and life, you will never prefer to rest when you have something vital to do. Be zealous.Convert your Rest into Achievement: For example, if you want to advance in your career. Do something small every day to hone your skills. You will eventually be ready to make a professional change. Work on your relationships if you are having problems.
"We go beyond our limits once we acknowledge them."
Einstein, Albert
If you believe that one of your habits is preventing you from achieving success. Why don't you get to work on it? It may require little effort at first, but you will be quite happy once you recognise the change in your life. It will also aid you in other aspects of your life.
We frequently underestimate our own ability to deal with life's obstacles. How we waste our time: Assume you have 2-3 hours free after work. You will spend some time watching TV, movies, or other forms of entertainment. You will spend some of that time talking to your friends on social media or gossiping with your friends/family members. It's now half an hour until dinner. You may believe that now is the time to rest.
Tell me if that was gossip or entertainment. Your enjoyment has already calmed your thoughts, and you no longer require rest.
If you must, sit in silence for 5 minutes or speak nicely to yourself. Then get up and use the remaining half-hour to plan your life. Examine how your life is progressing and which aspects of your life want your attention.
