Get your Sabbath on! On one of the days this weekend, people all over the world, in many different cultures, will observe a day of rest, during which people refrain from work and instead focus on prayer, reflection, family, and community. I invite you to create your own Sabbath, on whichever day you choose. Approach your Day of Rest in baby steps: First, what small aspect of the daily grind are you willing to give up for 24 hours – Using your computer? Driving on a freeway? Taking business calls? Second, set your primary intention for this nourishing time-out: Will you spend time in nature? Read a book on your couch? Attend meditation gatherings? Once you have taken the Sabbath challenge, please check back and let us know how it went for you. What was it like not to reach for that iPhone, or to go on that long hike with your kids? In this busy world, we receive constant messages discouraging us from slowing down. But here in this Facebook community, we can encourage and inspire each other with self-care strategies. So however you create your Sabbath, on whatever day, I wish you Shabbat Shalom, Feliz Sabado, Sanbat Salaam, and Gut Shabbos -- a blessed time-out. You are worth it! :-)
