每天小事-休息并恢复精神(7)

Everyday routine

 

每天小事

 

Rest and refresh.

休息并恢复精神

 

My body signals me when it has had enough. When I fail to listen is when I crash and burn. I’m learning to back off the gas a little more and to take the time to unwind, decompress, and refresh my mind and body.

当我的身体受够了就会向我发信号。当我崩溃或感到热和痛时，我就听不进去别人说的话。我学着放手，花时间去放松、解压，让我的精神和身体恢复健康。

 

Life does comes at us hard and fast. Fatigue¹, stress and exhaustion² begins to settle in faster than you may think, or notice. The best remedy for this is rest.

生活向我们涌来，这不能改变。疲劳、压力和筋疲力尽比你想象的或注意到的来地要快得多。最好的补救方式就是休息。

 

Disconnect from all of the busyness and reconnect with what brings you the most nourishment³. Spend time with your partner, watch a guilty-pleasure television show, read a book, or simply be and enjoy the serenity⁴ of doing nothing for a while.

和所有的繁忙断开连接，和能带给你营养的事物重新联系。花些时间和你的搭档呆在一起，看看恶趣味的电视节目，读本书或就是呆在一起，享受什么也不做的宁静时光。
