What Does True Rest Look Like for Me? - Ladies of Hive Community Contest #308

I see true rest in a very different way and it goes this way. First, when I want to rest I want to look for a quiet place that I can lay my head and sleep. Other ways that I can rest maybe about a very heavy day is to find a movie that will take my mind off many of these things that are happening all around me.

Then I'll just drift off into the movie and enjoy it. That is one of my ways of getting rest. I don't go to party.

Vacation is not on the menu presently. I don't need to go somewhere crowded that is exciting. In fact, I'm not a party animal.

All I just want is somewhere quiet. No loud noise, phone calls, notification, traffic, deadlines, beeping your phone or messages if I have finished this particular project or not. I don't want that.

I want a quiet life and that's enough for a rest. I do spend a lot of time thinking about work, technology, AI, ideas, what I should be doing, what I shouldn't, what should come next. Sometimes I have to close my laptop and lie down somewhere so that my brain can just calm down and do the work.

Even if I have a drink beside me, I still want to be productive. The funny thing is that I don't really get that kind of rest often. So these days I use movies a lot.

Movies help me to relax and it does it in the way that I want it to be. I don't want to be too tired. I don't want to be focused in the movie to the point that I don't have to think of any other thing that gives me headache.

So movie is one of my major way of getting a rest in a noisy world. Another one is sleep. Take a very cold shower and hit the bed then go to sleep.

Life is not really about producing things. We all have to know that

    Movies are a good pastime, especially when we want to slow down. Our minds and bodies do need time to pause :)
