Choose a simple, playful, frivolous activity that is easily done and takes little time to do each day.

For example - put a new leaf or flower in a cup by your bed. Open your spice drawer and find a smell you like. Write a short poem about nothing of any importance. Watch a bird. Sing a song you like from start to finish. Find a crayon and sketch the view from your bed.

Let this simple act slow your pace, interrupt your speed. How willing are you to be stopped? Notice how it feels when you pause for this.

We all will spend a lifetime remembering, practicing and discovering what nourishing, fruitful rest looks like in our lives. It will be different for each of us. And what works for you today may not feel so nourishing or fruitful tomorrow. Practicing something is what matters!

It can really help to hear what others are trying and discovering. So, we are gathering up our community wisdom (yes - yours too!) this series to be edited together and released on June 23.
