The Thing About Rest
We aren’t terribly great at rest in the 21st century.
I wonder what our agricultural ancestors would think of all of us ‘working on’ resting as an activity on our calendars. Time blocking rest would be laughable to hunters and gatherers when their use of natural sunrises and sunsets, the planting and harvesting seasons significantly helped them regulate sleeping and eating as a cycle every day.
Their shock would multiply with the ways social media content focuses on nutrition tips as they only ate to be strong enough to harvest and plant. Sadly, we eat to nourish our sitting at desks or in cars, running ourselves and our kids ragged for participation trophies.
