Happy Sunday!
Did you know that there have been studies that show we need a day of rest? I don't remember where I read it, and it's been ages ago, but I one read a study that showed even work animals need a day of rest on a regular basis. Just like people, they get cranky, sickly, and just unpleasant to be around if they don't have that down time.

Mocha taking time out to rest.
There are so many benefits to taking a day of rest. Better health, less stress, more creativity, better moods, less depression, even increased memory and productivity.
One thing I like to do on my day of rest is plan for the coming week. It gives me a chance to look back and see where I can improve, what I did well, and what progress I made toward my goals. It's also a chance to make note of things to get done, what I need to do to move forward.
At our house, we take the day of rest serious. It's the one day that most of us take a nap. Even the dogs sack out with us.
So, do you take a day of rest? What do you like to do in your down time? Are you a napper or a reader or TV watcher?
Whatever you do, rest well. You'll be glad you did.
