When I don’t feel well rested, I get stressed much more easily. I find that it is the closest thing to therapy for me as nature is something that truly makes me feel well rested and healed. I also enjoy going outside, or on walks in my neighbourhood. The most important way for me to rest is to not be on social media it is common for the people in my life to see me deactivate my accounts for months at times. I am a firm believer that we absorb everything we read on the internet, whether it is directly or subconsciously. This forces me to go back to my roots and take a detox to gain my sanity back. However, when I am confronted by those feelings, I realize that I need to take a step back and do things that make me feel joyful in my core. Of course, I don’t mean to feel that way. In some instances, it makes me feel apathetic. I notice that at times I become so desensitized to other people’s suffering and instability that it makes me feel empty inside. It is getting more and more difficult to read the news today or to go through my timeline. Every single day, we’re bombarded with everything going on in the world. When it comes to rest, I like to do social media detoxes when I need to. I have no idea how I was even functioning prior to this, but I am glad that I finally understand how crucial it is to my mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. I never understood the importance of self-care and rest until I got into university.
Self-care, for me, has been something that has taken a few years to perfect. There are many diverse ways for people to give themselves a break and allow them to catch their breath for once. Journaling is also something that works for some. Some might even enjoy getting their nails done on a weekly basis. There are those who go for walks or take their dogs out to the dog park. It must be completely tailored to meet an individual’s needs. Not everyone rests the same way, and not everyone considers the same things to be relaxing – that is the beauty of self-care and rest. It is important for people to find ways to rest that are unique to themselves. It can be difficult to catch your breath in such a fast-paced environment. With midterms, papers, jobs, and course work, it can be difficult to find time to do the things you love. Students are some of the busiest people in the world.
