Greetings!
“Work without play makes jack a dull boy.” is a popular saying that talks more about making time for oneself no matter how busy the day might be. So, what the above assertion is simply telling us is that, for us to be full of energy and life, we have to create time for ourselves to relax.
The time of relaxing or taking time off work has always been the best time for me and this is because it's in the process of me taking my time to relax that I used to gain more energy and even gather my strength back. Aside from these, it's during my time of relaxation that I used to do my self evaluation or retreat and find solutions to issues of life.
Also, taking time to relax has always been of a great importance to me because it's always given me time to think ahead of time. Not only, it's also helped to give me inspiration to be more creative in my doings or endeavors. All these I have seen are what I have witnessed in myself most especially when taking my time to relax.
How do I relax? Though, most people go the extra mile to taking their time when it comes to relaxing their brains and nerves for the tedious task of life. Atimes, these people go the extra mile to book spaces at the beach, relaxation center, resorts or tourist attractions sites, though, all these places are good for relaxation, most especially when one has worked out. I too love all these places and I do go there atimes.
But, there's a spot in my garden where I used to take my time to relax. I love this place because of its serenity and the breeze that used to come with it. Not only that, the sounds of the bird and the view of nature that characterized the place cannot be overemphasized. The place is cool with breeze cooling down my body and hot head atimes. Though there's many places in the garden, this particular place which is located in my garden/compound is special to me.
The spot I'm talking about is the shed created by the orange tree in my garden. So, whenever I'm tired maybe after the day work or any other day, I do take my time to go and take a rest under this particular tree and those things that I have mentioned earlier about relaxation and it's benefit of giving me more energy and resuscitating the creativity in me used to come to fruition.
In fact , taking a rest with a glass of water underneath this tree has always healed my scars and wounds, it's always healed me emotionally and created in me a new life. Maybe because of the nature and breeze stationed underneath this particular tree in my garden. I love this spot so much and it's always been my place of comfort in my garden. So, everytime I'm not doing anything or going to work, I would be in this soft spot of mine relaxing myself and my nerves.
It's always good to have such a spot in a garden.
