The importance of a good night\u2019s rest is often talked about but can be very elusive. Why do we talk about the benefits of rest, but refuse to reserve time in our busy lives to actually get enough? Why is it so critical if we never practice it?<\/p>\n
Descansar lo suficiente es importante para el cuerpo, tanto mental como f\u00edsicamente.<\/strong> Con demasiada frecuencia, sabemos que nos beneficiar\u00eda tener m\u00e1s tiempo de inactividad, pero parece imposible sacar tiempo para ello en nuestras agitadas agendas.<\/p>\n Dormir no s\u00f3lo nos permite sentirnos m\u00e1s despiertos mentalmente y mantenernos lo bastante fuertes para hacer frente a nuestras exigencias diarias, sino que en realidad ayuda a que el cuerpo siga funcionando como debe. Ayuda al organismo a curarse y repararse, garantizando que el coraz\u00f3n y los vasos sangu\u00edneos sigan funcionando correctamente. El sue\u00f1o y el estado de \u00e1nimo van de la mano, y descansar lo suficiente por la noche se asocia a niveles m\u00e1s bajos de irritabilidad y estr\u00e9s.<\/p>\n When we don\u2019t get enough sleep, we begin to suffer from sleep deprivation that takes a toll on the entire body. It keeps the immune system from functioning as it should, so we become worn down and more susceptible to viruses and bacterial infections. Over time, lack of sleep can also lead to heart disease, kidney dysfunction, high blood pressure, diabetes, and strokes. Getting only limited amounts of rest and sleep can also cause anxiety and depression, both of which do a number on our health.<\/p>\n So, why is sleep so elusive? Primarily because it\u2019s countercultural. Vivimos en un mundo en el que desde peque\u00f1os nos lavan el cerebro para producir.<\/strong> Everything we do from the time we wake up to when our head hits our pillow again is centered on this goal\u2014to be productive. We take pride in being self-made, and often must work long hours to be successful.<\/p>\n Therefore, we are taught that to get an inadequate amount of sleep night after night is really no big deal. It\u2019s the \u2018everyone is doing it\u2019 mentality. Everywhere we look, people are talking about rest, but never actually accounting for it in their schedules. Por tanto, para mantener el ritmo, debemos seguir su ejemplo.<\/strong><\/p>\n Introducir m\u00e1s descanso en nuestras vidas puede suponer todo un cambio de perspectiva. Puede que tengamos que acogerlo activamente empezando a practicar t\u00e9cnicas que induzcan a la calma. Si decidimos empezar a practicar la atenci\u00f3n plena, por ejemplo, nuestra mente empezar\u00e1 a acoger el descanso de forma natural, en lugar de seguir rechaz\u00e1ndolo.<\/strong><\/p>\n La esencia de la atenci\u00f3n plena es la capacidad de centrarse \u00fanicamente en el presente y liberarse de cualquier preocupaci\u00f3n asociada al pasado o al futuro. Si nos tomamos la vida d\u00eda a d\u00eda y nos negamos a dejar que nos abrume, la mente, el cuerpo y el alma podr\u00e1n relajarse de forma natural.<\/strong> El descanso es, ante todo, un estado mental. Nuestro cuerpo seguir\u00e1 rechazando un retiro si nuestra mente lo hace.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not easy to go against our intuition and against the grain. It\u2019s not easy to take the path less traveled\u2014practically when others start to notice our transformation. Because it\u2019s so countercultural to welcome a more restful life, to choose to do so will cause us to stand out. Others might begin to ask questions or even choose to turn away. People are often afraid of change and of the unknown.<\/p>\n We must stay the course, regardless of opposition. After all, the only reason we face any is because what we\u2019re doing is different, not wrong. In fact, those who ask questions are probably self-aware enough to realize that mindfulness techniques would also help them to live more fully. And we can share our experiences with them.<\/p>\n Una vez que empezamos a entender c\u00f3mo acoger el descanso en nuestras vidas y nuestros procesos de pensamiento se transforman y se vuelven m\u00e1s positivos, el sue\u00f1o vendr\u00e1 de forma natural.<\/strong> Instead of having our thoughts race the minute we are alone with them, they will be beautifully still. When our thoughts are still, we will realize that we have progressed along our journey and we are able to self-heal. We cannot reasonably expect this transformation to happen overnight, but we cannot become frustrated and deterred along the way\u2014especially amid setbacks and nay-saying.<\/p>\n Una vida completamente libre de estr\u00e9s probablemente no sea plausible. A veces no podemos evitar que el estr\u00e9s nos afecte, pero podemos controlar nuestra forma de reaccionar. Cuando empezamos a centrarnos en controlarnos s\u00f3lo a nosotros mismos y en la forma en que respondemos al estr\u00e9s, la paz llegar\u00e1 de forma natural.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The importance of a good night\u2019s rest is often talked about but can be very elusive.
