Nurturing our physical and mental well-being is essential for a productive and healthy life. And in today’s world where everything is changing and moving so rapidly, and the demands to keep up are only increasing, it can be difficult finding time to focus on rest. According to a study by the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver, and suicide. So it’s clear that taking time to recharge and rejuvenate is not a luxury, but a necessity for our overall well-being.
Rest and recharging can take many different forms. For example, someone who’s on their feet all day at work may choose to practice yoga and meditation to relax and recharge their body and mind. Conversely, someone who sits at a desk for the majority of the day may feel like going on a bike ride to unwind. And while there’s certainly overlap and healthy activities like bike riding and meditation are good for everyone, there are just some days where one form of recharging sounds better than the alternatives.
Luckily for us here in Gilbert, we have many options for nourishing our bodies and minds.
