休息待发

另一篇励志佳作，与大伙分享。确实，我们在很多时候都会在某个阶段感到生活有点忙乱，不知所措，唯有继续下去， 直到身心疲惫为止。

身心疲惫可能是有很多原因而造成的，可以是因为对工作的责任感、感情问题、家庭问题、调职等等而引起。当我们为着不明去向的工作而忙碌时，忙碌而又不见成绩的工作，身上背负太多责任，工作量太大。。。。不明压力的就会产生，身心很快的也就会疲惫。

人在处于疲惫的状况时是无法把眼前的事情，把该要做的事情看清楚。在这时候，或许我们就该尝试退一步，稍微休息一下，让身心有机会调整，方能以更好的体魄、精神去迎接眼前所要做的事情。

长久以来就有这句话：“休息是为了走更长的路”。了解有时候不是我们不想休息，而是无论怎么做，就是无法好好睡觉。无形的压力导致身体不能好好休息，直至崩溃为止。

但是，当身体无法负荷时，我们就不能有个清晰的脑袋，对生活也会失去重心。所以，偶尔的小息或离开岗位一下，对调整身心是绝对有帮助的。一个人能做的事情是有限地，不可能自己一个人把所有的事情都作了，把所有的东西的扛下来。不要把所有的事情都背负在自己的身上，适当的分配工作将有助于减少不必要的压力，也可能让其他人从中学习。把身上的大石头，变成很多的小石头，然后按部就班，把最先要丢出去的石头丢出去，从而把自己身上的大石头逐步变小。这可以是把工作分配出去或把眼前的工作重新安排，把最先需要做好的先做好，以此类推。

让我们不要做到不能做的时候才懂得休息，要在适当的时候让身体充电。这样，我们才能在休息后再次整装待发，重新出击，让生活过得更美好！！ ：）


Refocus Your Life

We all go through times in our lives when we feel a little disoriented। It could be simply due to exhaustion, the result of taking on too many jobs and obligations. It could be after a major crisis. Or it could be doing the things you feel you should be doing, instead of the things that really matter to you. All this can take a toll on our energy level, our motivation to get through each day.

Whatever the reason, if you're feeling a little out-of-whack, and you haven't a clue why, it may be time to start re-focusing your life।

This means taking a step back, taking a deep breath, evaluating your life, and listening to your inner voice। Now for some people, this means taking a holiday, which is fine if it works for you. For others, a vacation may mean additional stress - the stress of preparing your work to go on when you're gone, planning where to go, where to stay, and the withdrawal symptoms when you get back.

A holiday is great if it gives you the time and space to relax and re-prioritise your life। If not, you can refocus your life right नोव.

The best thing you can do for your body is to give it enough rest। This has to be done before any refocusing can begin. In such competitive, fast-paced times, most of us are not getting the amount of rest we need. Many of us might think that we can get away with five or six hours of sleep a day, just because we don't feel tired for the rest of the day. But this is simply our bodies getting used to less sleep, not necessarily an indication of what our bodies actually need to perform at their peak.

Get enough sleep, at least the eight hours recommended amount a day, and you'll find that you can think more clearly, work more efficiently, and have more energy and motivation।

Next, examine your life schedule and re-evaluate your priorities। What's taking up your time and your energy? Are they productive? Are they improving you in any way? Are they things you enjoy or at least things that make you money or develop relationships? Are there any time and spirit wasters that you feel are your obligations? Be stringent with your evaluations and throw out the tasks that are not benefitting you.

And figure out how you're using your time। True, a day's hours are finite, but if you examine your daily actions, you'll find some things that take up more than their fair share of your time. For example, do you find yourself checking your email several times a day and typing out detailed, carefully-worded essays? Are you sending, re-sending, and forwarding your time away?

Identify other aspects of your life which may be wasting your time and energy. These are the little leeches sucking the life from you. Get rid of them, and refocus your priorities on things that truly fulfill you.
