Learning the art of rest...

 This week I am learning the art of rest. As a person who is usually so wrapped up my sport and life I am usually bouncing around and manage to keep going like the "Everyready Bunny". Well I can say today I felt more like the tired bunny.

So this art of resting, I am still not sure if I like it, and yes here in Australia its winter time and the mornings are cold...but not as cold as other countries get. I threw out my plan to go swimming this morning at 6:15am when my alarm went off and I went back to sleep.

And its back into the water tomorrow...I hope it makes me feel a little more awake than I was today...

I am learning, even though probably slower than others that as much as its great to have a plan in life for everything, there are times when, you need to take that breath, trust in yourself and the universe and let it all go and see what happens. Your plan will still be there,  but some days throw it all to the wind and take that rest day, you never know, like it do, some times is actually not that bad...ok, maybe it is if you are a crazed athlete that loves their sport so much that a rest day is agony...(laughing or grimising). I guess we can all get so caught up in our everyday lives, our sports and so much more that we do forget to let it all go, and see what happens. We can learn from these strange experiences as well.

Take a moment to breathe, trust your inner instincts and see what happens...you might just find something within yourself you never knew.

Have a great week...
