Pacing
We rest before we get tired.
When I first heard these words about the recovery tool of Rest, they baffled me. How would I know when I was going to get tired before it actually happened? What if I ended up resting nearly all the time, just in case? I'd never know if it had been necessary or how near I had been to getting tired. And surely I didn't deserve to rest until I had finished everything there was to do.
After some time of practicing this tool, I have become much more in tune with my body and my energy levels. The balanced rhythm of activity and rest, followed by more activity and rest, has become as natural to me as breathing in and out, in and out.
Thanks to my Higher Power, I live by a tool that I could not understand with my own reasoning.
I am grateful for the promises coming true in my life.
