Several key behaviors contribute to higher levels of health, wellness and fitness, including getting enough rest. Although this behavior is critical for survival and optimal functioning, we often do not give this topic nearly enough thought. Consider these five key questions and honestly respond to each one:
· How much sleep did you get last night?
· How much sleep do you usually get?
· How often do you take a vacation?
· Do you allow yourself daily periods of peace of mind? If so, how?
· Do you allow yourself to have at least one day of rest per week, where your body, mind and spirit can receive rejuvenation?
