We all live busy lives. Understandably, it’s easy to get caught up with the day-to-day tasks. By the end of the night, you may feel defeated if you haven’t checked off all of your to-do’s. Even with the best time management skills, you may never feel you have enough time to accomplish everything. This is your permission slip to allow yourself time to rest. Even if it means you carve out 1 hour at the end of the day to do nothing. Relax, put your feet up, enjoy a cup of hot cocoa, watch a good movie, or have a pleasant conversation with friends; the time is yours.

When we make time for rest, we allow ourselves the opportunity to reset. Some may feel rest is unproductive. This is because there are too many things that need to be done. The truth of the matter is, carving out just a bit of time for rest can increase productivity because you give yourself a reboot of energy.
