Resilience and a Sabbath
Weariness decimates resilience
Too tired for self-evaluation
Too tired to follow the best examples
Too tired for practicing new skills
Too tired to confront naïveté’
Too tired to be a team player
Resilience looks for a bigger context
Rules ruined the Sabbath idea:
Duty displaced rest
Strictness displaced relaxation
Scrutiny displaced community
Regulations displaced refreshment
Rest produces Sabbath resilience
Physical rest
Emotional rest
Spiritual rest
Intellectual renewal
Family & friendship renewal
Best-self renewal
Three Sabbaths:
Daily
Weekly
Annually
