Rest and Relaxation

Rest and relaxation are vital in the quest for optimal health

Elementary schoolchildren hear it over and over again: "If your clothing catches fire, just "stop, drop, and roll!" This fire safety formula has some genuine application to the problem of physical, mental, and spiritual burnout as well.

When it comes to your health, if you sense the heat of life on your backside and smell the smoke of imminent burnout billowing around you, just stop, drop, and roll — or, in other words, rest, fast and relax!

Just as the original manufacturer of an automobile provides detailed information and maintenance schedules for maintaining maximum performance and utility of that car, so your Creator has provided detailed instructions and maintenance schedules for preserving peak performance for you. 
 
Even if your friends confuse you with the "Energizer Bunny," you still need regular periods of rest.
