I watched this squirrel as this moved form one tree to the other. It moved in a hurry often, but would stay in a restful position in between.
Seeing this squirrel do this, for the last one month I have been following squirrels when ever I spot one! They too duo the same! They have in between times of rest!
The rhythm of life is rest and work! If is from being fresh we move to work!
The restful times are for recovery of energy..... but rest is also a time of preparation.
Yesterday, while talking to a student who is currently having university examination, I discovered that he found that taking planned rest was useful to him in his concentration and recollection! There are many physiological reasons for this.
But there is one important emotional reason! Rest provides a distance from the routine! We can feel overcome by monotony when we do something routinely in which we are good at. Our alertness can drop when we do something with least attention or mindfulness. It is through an attentive activity we feel satiated, which gives us a new energy to work!
The squirrels know it well and practice this all the time!
