Today's thought from Hazelden is: Today's thought from Hazelden is: I'd like to get away from earth awhile. And then come back to it and begin again. -- Robert Frost Do we think it's weak to need a break? Do we ignore the need to recharge our batteries? Responsibility for our own lives requires us to recognize the need to restore our energy. Maybe our former escape from the world was by using food, or drugs, or spending money, or being preoccupied with another person. Now, since we are developing the ability to be with ourselves, we can take a break from the world and come back restored. This meditation time generates more energy for our lives. Recreation with friends, a walk, a movie, or a concert does the same. Taking responsibility to get away is a good cure for self-pity and exhaustion. Today, I will be aware of my need to restore my energy. |
Thank you for this because I'm a single father with a stressful job and never seem to stop. I spent the last 48 hrs. doing nothing! And it feels good! We have to stop and relax sometimes. |
