Relax & Let Go

As simple as the title is how many of us find the time to relax. Do we count our days off from work or vacations? How about the time when we get off from work, does that time counts although we have to attend to our family needs and other responsibilities. It seems like a never-ending battle day in and out with something as simple as resting. Unfortunately, most can’t seem to find the time for that. I work in public transportation and my work shifts can be all over the place. Some days I will have to come in first thing in the morning. Other days I might have to work an overnight shift. My body goes through many changes because of this change.

The worst part was the headaches that I would get from lack of rest. I can feel my head pulsing with pain. Taking something for the pain just didn’t work. I would feed out of sync with my body and just can’t seem to function correctly, www.yourdictionary.com says to relax is defined as to become calm, to loosen, or to calm down. The understanding that I got from that is to not allow worldly things to get the better of you. You must and always have to keep peace within yourself to stay calm. We all need to stop allowing life to take up the one thing that is the most valuable to us all, which is our time. I understand that bills have to get paid. I understand that there is work that needs to get done around the house. I understand that there are deadlines to be met at the job. What will any of that matter if your sick in the hospital or worst you fell asleep behind the wheel of your car and seriously injured or killed someone or yourself?

It almost happened to me and I was fortunate to have awakened right at the moment that I was about to run into the back of another vehicle on the beltway. I was heading home after working a double shift. For the last few weeks, I had been working overtime straight, including my off days. It finally started to take its toll on me. The sad part about it is that a few of my coworkers experience the same thing but many of them had serious accidents on and off the job. Once our shift is completed, we only get eight hours off. Depending on how far you live from the job. Subtract that travel time from your commute. Once your home, pack your lunch for the next day, shower get in bed and commute back to work all has to be done within eight hours. I know what your thinking about why would anyone works that way and the answer is simple for the money.

We allowed the world to become the priority instead of prioritizing ourselves or our health. Everything could be gone in a blink of an eye. We must take great care of ourselves. That job will still be there after we are dead and gone. Believe me, they will have someone else sitting in your chair to keep the wheels moving. I am not by no means trying to put the idea out there that we don’t need to work. I am simply just saying that we need to find balance.

Here is a short video of how even if your in the wild you can still relax and let go. The music and visuals are promoting inner peace and it’s great for meditation as well, please enjoy 😉.
