Step Two to Sabbath Simplicity: Be honest about your motivation.
“Consider your motives for being busy. Our culture often equates busyness with significance, and rest with laziness. While it is important to fully engage with our work or our families, we also need time to disengage, to rest.
Many of us are not only sleep deprived, we’re rest deprived. We don’t have enough time to relax, to connect with our loved ones, or to nurture ourselves. What motivates you to be as busy as ite it out—you need a good, close, exact look at where you are.”
