The Need to Relax

Hello, steemians,

We are closing in on the end of a wonderful Wednesday here in Nigeria. And after a hard day’s work, I felt I still had more to do. Before long, I was dozing on my system while drafting out my post for the day. I decided to take a break, and afterward, I came up with this. I do hope that when you read through, you'll understand the importance of relaxing and not completely working yourself out from dawn to dusk.

No matter how great your cause or your dreams are, when you push yourself beyond the boundaries of wisdom into the land of fatigue, you suffer exactly the same as those who burn out in any other endeavor. It is charming to be hardworking but when you observe stress creeping in gradually, it is imperative you deal with it.

There are certain ways to work efficiently and not be stressed.
They include the following;

• Learn to become a better manager of your time, your energy, and your gift.
• Learn to adapt to change instead of allowing things to pressure you.
• Listen/heed to the telltale signs of stress before your health breaks and you turn out to be of no good to yourself and others.
• Always remember that tiredness is inevitable i.e. you're supposed to be tired, fatigue is a God-given boundary that prevents humans from going over the edge.
• Learn not to be agitated; for scriptures tells us that,

In the world you'll have frustration, but be of good cheer... I have deprived it of its power to harm you.

So stop allowing yourself to be agitated because this act if not tamed, it could result in high blood pressure, low level of contentment etc.
Don’t forget that, there's need for rest periods because timely rest restores your energies and maintains your abilities so that you can be effective in full capacity. Rest time, therefore, is the best time to assess your life, your dreams, your heartaches, your faith etc. It is what allows you to enjoy the journey, not the destination...
