Day 5: Rest

Resting  present participle of rest (Verb)
Verb
  1. Cease work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself, or recover strength.
  2. Remain or be left in a specified condition: "rest assured."

Today is Sunday, and I've chosen to take it as a rest day. I'm not going to leave the house or put on makeup or wear uncomfortable shoes. I've been battling sickness for nearly a week, and before this next week kicks off, I want to be as rested and healed as possible.



Breakfast was a steaming mug of chicken broth, along with hot coffee.

Snacks since then have been an apple and some sautéed veggies.

Dinner will likely be a shake made with Swiss chard, frozen berries, and whey protein.

I'm also drinking some Synergy Kombucha, since fermented foods aid in digestion. Additionally, kombucha is filled with glucosamines, which increase the body's production of synovial acid. If that sounds scary, it's not! It's actually a good thing!

Synovial acid preserves cartilage, and aids in tissue moisture, lubrication, and flexibility - so your skin is healthier! Plus, healthy tissue retards wrinkle formation - especially appreciated as I approach 30. :)

Hope you have a restful day! Find time to engage is leisure today - that is, something you enjoy that is not passive... Savor a favorite poem; prepare a colorful meal, and take your time to enjoy the textures and flavors; mindfully drink a cup of tea; play a game of checkers; go for a walk in the country - the possibilites are endless!
