Seek out community.
God calls us to fellowship. We are there for one another. So, it’s important to surround yourself with those who uplift you, encourage you, and create boundaries around yourself for those who do not. This creates a peace in knowing someone has your back, you can trust them to tell your frustrations to, and they can also hold you accountable when they know you need a break.
Notice what’s in nature.
Sometimes getting away from the stress of your everyday can be tough. You move from task to task, without a break, but then you feel it later when it’s time to wind down. Getting out in nature can be helpful – taking a walk, breathing in fresh air, riding a bike, playing a sport. Moving sometimes helps regulate and ground the body.
Plan your time of Sabbath.
Is there a particular time when you can take a day or a few hours to rest, recharge and reflect? Could it be visiting your favorite café and having a cup of tea? Taking a nap when it’s quiet in the house? Spending time in worship early in the morning as you watch the sunrise? Plant or work in your garden? It’s important to be intentional about this time.
What are you doing this week to rest or decompress, reflect, and recharge?
