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 o suficiente \u00e9 importante para o corpo, tanto mental como fisicamente.<\/strong> Muitas vezes, sabemos que seria bom ter mais tempo de inatividade, mas parece imposs\u00edvel arranjar tempo para isso nos nossos hor\u00e1rios agitados.<\/p>\n O sono n\u00e3o s\u00f3 nos permite sentir mais alerta mentalmente e manter-nos suficientemente fortes para satisfazer as nossas exig\u00eancias di\u00e1rias, como tamb\u00e9m ajuda a manter o corpo a funcionar como deve. Ajuda o corpo a curar-se e a reparar-se, assegurando que o cora\u00e7\u00e3o e os vasos sangu\u00edneos continuam a funcionar corretamente. O sono e o humor andam de m\u00e3os dadas e descansar o suficiente \u00e0 noite est\u00e1 associado a n\u00edveis mais baixos de irritabilidade 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. Vivemos num mundo em que, desde muito cedo, nos fazem uma lavagem cerebral para produzir.<\/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 conseguinte, para manter o ritmo, temos de seguir o exemplo.<\/strong><\/p>\n Introduzir mais descanso nas nossas vidas pode, de facto, exigir uma mudan\u00e7a total de perspetiva. Poderemos ter de o acolher ativamente, come\u00e7ando a praticar t\u00e9cnicas que induzam a calma. Se decidirmos come\u00e7ar a praticar a aten\u00e7\u00e3o plena, por exemplo, a nossa mente come\u00e7a naturalmente a acolher o descanso em vez de o continuar a rejeitar.<\/strong><\/p>\n No centro da aten\u00e7\u00e3o plena est\u00e1 a capacidade de se concentrar apenas no presente e de libertar qualquer preocupa\u00e7\u00e3o associada ao passado ou ao futuro. Se vivermos um dia de cada vez e n\u00e3o permitirmos que a vida nos domine, a mente, o corpo e a alma podem relaxar naturalmente.<\/strong> O descanso \u00e9, antes de mais, um estado de esp\u00edrito. Os nossos corpos continuar\u00e3o a recusar um retiro se as nossas mentes o fizerem.<\/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 come\u00e7armos a compreender como acolher o descanso nas nossas vidas e os nossos processos de pensamento se transformarem e se tornarem mais positivos, o sono vir\u00e1 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 Uma vida completamente livre de stress n\u00e3o \u00e9 provavelmente plaus\u00edvel. Por vezes, n\u00e3o podemos impedir que o stress nos afecte, mas podemos controlar a forma como reagimos. Quando come\u00e7amos a concentrar-nos em controlar apenas a n\u00f3s pr\u00f3prios e a forma como reagimos ao stress, a paz seguir-se-\u00e1 naturalmente.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The importance of a good night\u2019s rest is often talked about but can be very elusive.
