Rest

Today I am going to preach to myself a bit. I have been trying to provide some tips to you for staying healthy. Since I am exhausted this week I thought I might write about the importance of rest. We all are super busy these days and if you're like me you aren't getting enough rest. Our bodies need time to rest and relax. I once watched a show about the dangers of lack of sleep. This show compared two types of drivers. The first group of drivers were sleep deprived and the second group of drivers were intoxicated. I was shocked to see that the sleep deprived drivers provided a greater risk to other drivers than the intoxicated drivers did. I am by no means saying it is okay to drink and drive! My point is that we can not function as wonderful as we all think we can if we are not getting enough rest. We all have demanding lives but if we don't take care of our bodies we are no good to anyone else. This week let's all take a day and rest!
