There is the hold still aspect, the just sit down,
the stop what you are doing you don't need to do that right now.
There is the read a book or eat a meal
take yourself to dinner, pause, breathe, feel.
There is the meditation cushion or yoga class
or max heavy weights to squat piled on your back.
There is the exhaust yourself so you can switch off,
the wistful, wishful wonder of tummy-tiring laugh.
There is more than enough advice for the body mind to follow
if your kids would quiet down
if the whistling would cease
if the screens were turned off
if your heart didn't ache
if your brain would stop circling
if your muscles would let go. . .
And then there is the lack of dispute -- right now is your time
clearly you need it if you are writing to a rhyme.
The work you've put in is enough, it is time to rest
and be satisfied that life is good and you have done your best.

Relaxing/taking a rest is very important ma'am.
Well i dont know what would happen if that does 😁😁I find it hard to. Feel you are giving suggestions for relaxing and some really funny😁.
My brain never stops. It even runs laps while I'm sleeping. :) I'm glad you enjoyed this.
Today's life is a life of stressful. We don't even give a little to us for the relax. As we need to take a bed rest daily just same the brain want to take rest. Useful post!
I love the idea of a brain rest. :)
Thanks
This is fantastic! There is only one tiny change I would make. I think the last line needs to be broken into two so that last part really kicks your readers in the teeth. Let "you have done your best" sit on its own line and remove "and from the line before it:
and be satisfied that life is good.
You have done your best.
The period after good will give the reader that full pause, then you can punch them in the teeth with positive vibes.
Love it.
Thank you for this constuctive comment. I believe you’re right. ❤️❤️❤️🎉
Work and rest should be in balance.
But, then again, a person should be in the balance first, which is really hard to achieve as we are all the dynamic beings.
Very true. Something is always in flux.
