Philosophical articles on life insights: Learn to rest

If you don’t even know how to rest, how can you talk about working hard?

? Rest , take a rest!?

Does this sentence look familiar?

Yes, it is the sentence that Ikkyu often said when I was watching "Smart Ikkyu" when I was a child. talk.

During midfield, he would remind us with a smile: Don’t always use your brain, don’t always be busy, and occasionally let yourself take a break and relax.

In fact, this should be the case in life.

　?

For a while, I was immersed in various things and was very busy, and suddenly I encountered a menacing cold?

First Day, I just had a little stuffy nose;

On the second day, my colleague described me as crying, so I drank a lot of ginger syrup, thinking it would be relieved;

On the third day , my throat started to feel dry and sore, even half of my face felt inexplicable pain, and I sneezed and yawned wildly;

On the fourth day, I lay at home and fell asleep all day, and I couldn't stand up when the phone rang. Answer;

　?

This cold has taken me on and off for a week. I need help from my colleagues at work, and care from my family in life. I have also stopped baking that I have been doing before. The fragrance is no longer overflowing, and it looks slightly deserted and depressed.

What bothers me the most is that those plans and busy schedules that were ready to go and were full of ambitions were suddenly disrupted and had to be suspended or adjusted.

As the cold worsened, I no longer had the energy to think about this trouble. Only after it got slightly better, I was puzzled: How could I catch a cold suddenly and be so serious?

Zhaozhao, a colleague and friend who is very knowledgeable in Chinese medicine, said that when our body is exhausted and can no longer bear the burden, but our mind refuses to rest, a cold or other illness may occur. Minor illnesses are a self-protection mechanism of the body that forces us to stop and rest.

In short, it is the body’s instinct to stop those busy things, stop and take a break, take a break.

If you think about it this way, it really makes sense.

Several times when I had colds and fevers, I was so busy that I used myself as a superman. I wrote summaries, plans, interviews, and planning. I still had to do it after I got home from work. Housework, I have to take care of the children on weekends, and I have to update an article on the WeChat platform every day. I am still making bread, cakes and other various small desserts?

I am like an octopus. , extending all kinds of tentacles in life, wishing to break every minute into many pieces and use them efficiently.

Then I got sick.

But when you are sick, you are really happy.

Can you sleep in broad daylight without any psychological burden, listen to someone cooking for you in the kitchen with peace of mind, and can you even ask to eat on the bed in the bedroom? Ordinarily. The self-discipline and requirements, busyness and planning are all temporarily put aside, and you can enjoy the "patient treatment" unscrupulously.

Indeed, we sometimes overestimate ourselves, always thinking that we can do more things, but do not give ourselves reasonable planning and rest. How can we not be tired?

?

When I was taking a taxi, my sister chatted with me and said that I don’t know if it’s because of my age or some other problem, but I always feel more and more tired now.

She said that she used to run for a taxi at five or six o'clock every morning, and she didn't feel tired even after running all day, but now she can't get up anymore. Like falling apart from exhaustion?

? I always feel that I can still work for a few more years, why not? She asked unconvincingly.

I said: "You are too tired. It's time to take a rest." ?

After saying this, I suddenly realized that when I plunged into various affairs, I forgot to say this to myself, which made me so exhausted. It makes me so miserable and always ends up with a cold.

Even if you are doing something you like, even if it is to make your life happier, you should occasionally let yourself breathe, take a rest, and be lazy. Only in this way can you feel refreshed. Go down.

So, start giving yourself a reminder now, give yourself some rest time, take a break, and relax your body and mind.

Whether it is family or work, it will not be derailed by your little relaxation, because taking a good rest is precisely to move forward better. ;
