How To Rest: Becoming A Rested Generation

-

When was the last time you truly rested?





Resting is not just sleeping—it's about being intentional with your personal time. It's about doing what you love without feeling guilty or under pressure to be productive.

The productivity culture has become toxic, creating a voice inside your head saying, "get up and do something," even to our own exhaustion. But it is okay to relax.

Here is how to truly rest:

A. Have a healthg schedule 



Productivity emphasizes getting more work done in less time. A healthy schedule will allow you to step away, recharge, and return stronger.

B. Get a hobby



Pick a hobby that makes you feel content with life. It could be sport or being creative. My me-time is a non-negotiable, this, I will fight my family for (lol, they know it) I could do a lot, sleep in, or binge-watch Adam Sandler movies, the possibilities are endles

C. Be present



Resting creates an emotional, physical, and spiritual reset. Small habits like journaling, praying, or being grateful enhance rest.
Psalms 23:2-3 says, He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. I like to let this scripture guide me. The point? Be intentional with your stillness.


It is time to reconnect with yourself because well-rested people are kinder to themselves, are better company, make wiser decisions, are healthier and are more in tune with God.

Leave me a comment on how you intend to take a rest.

Do you feel unproductive in this heat? me too, nothing these 3 cooling tips can't fix though. Seeing school kids go home I'm transported back in time when I used to hate school uniforms during this hot season. The way my leather shores would cling to me and I would be all sweaty underneath my pullover. The worst part was not being able to study or do any chores let alone homework. Here are the three tips you can use to cool off and be productive. 1. Hydrate and listen to your body I don't even have to say it, but drinking water even when you're not thirsty is essential to cooling your body throughout the day and it reduces fatigue. Make a lemonade or an iced tea for sweetness.   Eat light meals or snacks, eating heavy meals like Kota will make you sluggish, and it will have you in an instant food coma Don't overwork yourself take mini breaks and use a breathing exercise. 2. Plan the day ahead It's no surprise but planning your day will allow you to wake up early...

How To Spring Clean Your Room: Simple Steps for A Fresh Space

Spring cleaning your room can be made easy with this simple step-by-step deep cleaning plan. Let me share a practical guide with you so we can work together to declutter your rooms. 1. Wait For The Wind To Settle  Timing is everything when it comes to spring cleaning, especially during seasonal transitions. It also depends on where you live. I'm from Kasi , so yeah, wind equals plenty of dust. Cleaning while dust is swirling around is basically asking for double the work. 2. Strip It Down Removing dirty bedsheets. Take down your curtains, remove your bedding, and even pull out your clothes that need a wash. Getting the "soft-stuff' out of the way makes it easier to clean surfaces and corners without obstacles.  Nothing beats the smell of freshly washed linen in a freshly deep-cleaned room. 3. Open Those Windows airing out the room Fresh air does half the job for you. Open your windows wide to let the breeze push out stale air and give your room an instant lift.    4....

Embracing Life's Journey

Embrace /verb/ To accept readily or eagerly. Example: She embraced the journey willingly and with enthusiasm. The pashmina I'm wearing in the picture belongs to my mother; I sold it to her when I was selling Avon. Today, I went straight to her closet to find something to cover up with, and this little act reminded me of a time I was younger and the consequences of picking through her closet uninvited had me face-to-leather with the belt lol. During those times, I wasn't anxious. A trouble maker yes—but never worried. This past month and a half, I’ve been to and from my first-ever job. I’ve met some nice people, all older than me and experienced in both life and work. When I'm there, I clock in so focused on my job. There are times when I make mistakes with my orders and feel irritated at my co-workers due to miscommunication. I could go on forever about the working conditions, but I’ve learned to tell myself, You’re doing okay. Now I just go to work not because I want money...
