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
Riposare a sufficienza \u00e8 importante per l'organismo, sia mentalmente che fisicamente.<\/strong> Troppo spesso sappiamo che ci farebbe comodo avere pi\u00f9 tempo libero, ma sembra impossibile trovare il tempo per farlo nei nostri orari frenetici.<\/p>\n Il sonno non solo ci permette di sentirci mentalmente pi\u00f9 vigili e di essere sufficientemente forti per far fronte alle nostre esigenze quotidiane, ma contribuisce a far funzionare il corpo come dovrebbe. Aiuta il corpo a guarire e a ripararsi, assicurando che il cuore e i vasi sanguigni continuino a funzionare correttamente. Il sonno e l'umore vanno di pari passo e riposare a sufficienza durante la notte \u00e8 associato a livelli pi\u00f9 bassi di irritabilit\u00e0 e stress.<\/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. Viviamo in un mondo in cui ci viene fatto il lavaggio del cervello fin da piccoli per produrre.<\/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. Per tenere il passo, quindi, dobbiamo seguirne l'esempio.<\/strong><\/p>\n Introdurre pi\u00f9 riposo nella nostra vita pu\u00f2 richiedere un cambiamento di prospettiva. Potremmo doverlo accogliere attivamente, iniziando a praticare tecniche che inducono alla calma. Se decidiamo di iniziare a praticare la mindfulness, per esempio, la nostra mente inizia naturalmente ad accogliere il riposo invece di continuare a rifiutarlo.<\/strong><\/p>\n Il cuore della mindfulness \u00e8 la capacit\u00e0 di concentrarsi solo sul presente e di liberarsi da qualsiasi preoccupazione associata al passato o al futuro. Prendendo la vita un giorno alla volta e rifiutando di lasciarsi sopraffare, la mente, il corpo e l'anima possono rilassarsi naturalmente.<\/strong> Il riposo \u00e8 innanzitutto uno stato mentale. Il nostro corpo continuer\u00e0 a rifiutare il riposo se lo far\u00e0 la nostra mente.<\/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 Quando cominciamo a capire come accogliere il riposo nella nostra vita e i nostri processi di pensiero si trasformano e diventano pi\u00f9 positivi, il sonno arriver\u00e0 naturalmente.<\/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 vita completamente priva di stress non \u00e8 probabilmente plausibile. A volte non possiamo impedire che lo stress ci colpisca, ma possiamo controllare il modo in cui reagiamo. Quando iniziamo a concentrarci sul controllo di noi stessi e del modo in cui reagiamo allo stress, la pace seguir\u00e0 naturalmente.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The importance of a good night\u2019s rest is often talked about but can be very elusive.
