Hi Chris Valleton here. Welcome to my podcast where I hope to inspire you to

transform the world within you and transform the world around you. The conversation you're about to listen to came

from a Q&A session on my social media platforms. I hope you enjoy today's episode.

God in Genesis when he as I was just saying he worked six days and rested on the

seventh and then later on when Moses when God gave Moses the Ten Commandments

and the Levitica laws, he made one of the one of the

commandments that he show that you show keep the Sabbath. And so rest is actually built in to humanities like DNA. It's built into God's DNA.

I have a hard time thinking about like God works six days and then he's like I'm exhausted I need to rest and so I don't know if

rest is so much the absence of action as it is the presence of peace and in a

yes rest is really important.

I will say this, like, I think it's, you know,

I've said this many times, but I've had two nervous breakdowns.

And I think that what I'm learning through, you know, being 15 years healthy now is that there needs to be a day where you unplugged.

Bill used to call it, you know, un- he'd call it unstringing the bow, you know, thinking of a bow and arrow, especially the old traditional bow and arrows that didn't have, you know, all the, all the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the all the the cams and all of that kind of thing you would when you

stored your bow you would unstring the bow so that the pre-curve that's in the bow wouldn't go away.

And I think that we're like that too.

When we are high strung all the time,

when we don't have,

when we don't get a break, we lose our tension.

We lose the strength of our forward motion.

And so I think it's really important to plan into your schedule, you know, a day, a day and what does what does it look like?

I think it looks like a time to reflect.
