Shock Value: Entry 37 "The Imortance of R & R"

Good Day to you all:

Today I want to talk to you all about the importance of R & R a.k.a. Rest & Relaxation. It is very important that you take time to get as much rest as possible. 6-8 hours of sleep is recommended, but I am sure the average person on this site doesn't get nearly that much because oftentimes you are up all night pondering about the last blog I wrote. (yeah right) Anyway, rest is extremely important for any good diet as well. Rest is just as important as exercise. Thus, I want you all to take time to grab a nap today if you can, or crawl into bed a little earlier tonight than usual.

Relaxation is very important as well. Stress causes a number of issues and can kill you if you allow it. People just need to learn to relax. On a daily basis, I quote the Serenity Prayer.I use to get so upset and frustrated but these days I choose life over stress and heartache. The things I can change, I do what I can, those things I can't, I leave it up to the MAN upstairs. Stop letting everything bother you and get you all worked up. Just relax! I know at times things can seem like they are too much to handle and maybe that is true. So, why worry? Relax, relate, and release.

It makes no sense to shorten your life because you aren't resting properly or you don't know how to relax. Now, I must admit, I am hypocritical with this blog because I am an insomniac, thus I rarely sleep. But, we all can do better. Together we can challenge ourselves to rest more and relax. As a matter of fact, get you a snack, find you a comfy chair, elevate your feet and chill with the kid--- right now!

Peace, Love, & Nappyness
