Yesterday I had a day for Kamilka and me.
I wrote this text on the 18th of July, 2022. I must admit that I was lazy one day earlier, on Sunday. It was the first day in a very long time when we did not leave our home. We chatted, cleaned, cooked, and played with our beloved kitty, Azorek. Was it too hot yesterday to go out? No, it wasn’t. Indeed, it was a great day to walk and do street photography.
Moreover, we could go out with Kamilka just to breathe the fresh summer air. Still, we did not do it. We just wanted to chill and relax by doing almost nothing during the day. We wanted to have a day for ourselves. I wrote many times on the www.adammazek.com website that taking a rest is as crucial as working hard.
Without pausing, relaxing, taking enough hours of sleep, our organisms, sooner or later, will break down.
That’s why it is crucial to take one day off everything sometimes. The slower you go, the further you go, I would say. In this post, I want to encourage you, my Dear Friend, to take a breath sometimes. If you are a busy worker, who works twelve hours daily, you must rest sometimes. I can imagine that there are people who also work during weekends. We call them workaholics.
Work is essential, but taking a rest is more fundamental.
Without rest, there won’t be hard, productive work. The truth is that the older I am, the more I see that working hard is not the aim of labor. The crucial target of work is the effect. I believe the best employee is the effective one, not the one who works hard. There is no effectiveness without proper resting. That’s why we are taking a day off from everything with my beloved Kamilka.
