Your body may feel taxed and you may notice a difference in your energy as a result today. Perhaps you have been working hard recently and letting your body simply run on the energy you had without replenishing it. If you do feel run down today, you might want to set the intention to get plenty of rest and eat well. Before you begin your day, you can make a list of things that help you recharge, such as yoga or tai chi practice, a walk on the beach, meditation, or bodywork. Treat yourself to whatever it is that revives you. While you are doing this you may want to take note of the way your body feels. Remind yourself that by relaxing and taking care of your body, you not only feel a sense of calm but you also feel more energetic.

Resting our bodies helps us learn to take care of ourselves. Sometimes we might think of our bodies as batteries. We run on its energy until it wears down and then we stop and have to replenish that energy. This happens when we don't regularly check in with ourselves. Learning to slow down and take life at a much easier pace, however, lets us maintain and balance our energy. When we remember to rest and treat ourselves well, our bodies respond in kind by giving us the energy we need throughout the day. By taking care of yourself today, you will increase your vitality and overall sense of well-being.
