The alcohol disrupts sleep after initially going to bed, and makes you feel worse in the morning. The food leaves you sluggish and bloated. We may feel good in the moment, when we indulge in these practices, but they are not real forms of rest. We turn to food, alcohol, gossip, and other forms of coping. It really is blissful to me.īut there is another form of rest beyond the physical, and that’s rest for our soul.īut often, we try to find ways to rest our emotions and soul through vices. So maybe there is something biologically based in me that speaks to this, but I love the simple concept of rest – stopping and recharging. As a camp counselor in my teenager years, younger kids (that I was supposed to be supervising) would often laugh when they’d see me hunched over asleep in a chair at 8pm in the middle of activities.
“My soul will rest in Your embrace.” -Oceans Anything going on in the evenings would really have to grab hold of my attention for me to try to stay awake to continue with it.
