Summer is over: Did you get any rest?

In 2026, we all have an active lifestyle. We study, we work, we play sports, we have hobbies, we read, we go out… All these activities bring us pleasure but also social contact and healthy distractions. We always want to do something, but we don't want to rest. There always has to be something happening. At moments when nothing is happening, we scroll or watch short videos. Sometimes we also watch TV. This summer I did many things: exercised a lot, read, played with my children, but I didn't get any rest.

It is September now, I have to go back to work. My soul is fulfilled, but my body says: it is enough.

Are you also tired, even after your vacation? Perhaps you also have what I call: “acute activity.” The problem is, therefore, that I want to do too many activities at the same time.

You can compare it to a bank account: you cannot spend more than you have. You can borrow, but that comes with an extra price … And just like the banker, your body reminds you of this! You have to pay a lot of interest then …

If you also suffer from “acute activity”, I have a challenge for you. Do not use your phone during the first hour of the day and put your mobile phone away in the evening an hour before you go to sleep. Do not plan any activities on Sunday, try to do nothing. Sit at home, read, draw, write something or go for a walk in the neighborhood.

If you try it, you will find more energy and you will certainly be more productive too. Do you know what that means? So that you have even more time to rest!
