The Importance of Rest
Effective rest is crucial for maintaining overall well-being. When we fail to rest properly, our bodies and minds can become overstimulated, leading to poor sleep and increased stress.
Many individuals live with chronic low-level stress, often mistaking it for normalcy. However, chronic stress can have serious health implications, including:
-
High blood pressure
-
Brain changes that may contribute to anxiety, depression, and addiction
-
Formation of artery-clogging deposits
-
Obesity, through both direct mechanisms (increased appetite) and indirect mechanisms (reduced sleep and physical activity)
“One of the most valuable things we can do in life is to learn deep relaxation - making an effort to spend some time every day quieting our minds in order to create inner peace and better health”
~ Herbert Benson, M.D.
