Exercise: Observing your own rest and activity
Make your potential to promote development available to others!
Try to observe how you move back and forth between rest and activity. Do you manage to consciously deal with your needs for rest and activity, with your strength?
- What are the qualities of rest and activity for you?
- How do you experience peace in which you are comfortable?
- In which moments of activity are you doing well?
- What activities do you find difficult?
Go through the coming week with these questions. The following suggestions can help you:
- If possible, listen to the video explaining the topic once a day and then let it linger in you for five minutes. What thoughts and what observations are associated with it?
- Pause briefly several times a day and look back at your activity over the last hour or two. Try to discover activities that were easy for you and those that took more effort. Also see if that has changed during the execution. Was it suddenly easier at some point? Or did something that you did start out relaxed and suddenly become difficult?
- Make a goal of relaxing every now and then.
- Stop working for a moment and do a few relaxing movements with your shoulders.
- Every now and then, consciously take a short break that is not absolutely necessary, e.g. to have a glass of water or to look out the window.
- Deliberately postpone an activity until the next day.
- Take time in the evening to ask yourself which things you have done from this list and which you want to plan for tomorrow. Also ask yourself how often you have heard your inner voice and whether it has helped you to be generous and mild.
Tip: It may be helpful to record your observations in writing.
