Even taking a nap is a powerful way to rest and recharge. If I’m feeling drained during the day for some reason and still have a long day ahead, I won’t hesitate to hit the reset button with a 20- or 30-minute power nap. Napping can also lead to better sleep patterns.

It’s helpful to set a specific time for rest. Put boundaries around it so you can claim that time.

The Rest Habit

As a student, you’re in the trenches by default. You’ll need to schedule your time for rest and self-care in the same way you schedule the other commitments in your life. The energy you get back will reward you many times over.

Rest certainly isn’t something we were taught in school, and it may not come naturally at first. After all, you’re a college student. So, you may find that you need to consciously make it a priority. Learning different mindfulness practices and bringing them into your everyday life is an effective way to deeply rest your body, mind, and spirit. Practices such as midday meditation, yoga, and purposeful silence are powerful ways to go within and achieve restful states of being, particularly when you commit to doing them regularly.

The more you integrate periods of rest and silence into your daily life, the bigger the payoff will be. During more tranquil periods, perhaps you won’t need to rest as much, but periods of intensity (such as meeting a huge quota or a big deadline) may require more rest and silence than usual.

Combining exercise, healthy food choices, consistent sleep, and rest will give you a quantum leap in the right direction for you and your academics. Keep in mind that when you try to adopt these three practices—to eat, sleep, and rest more effectively—you may at first find the process uncomfortable. You may encounter some resistance. Counteract the urge to run from the discomfort by making a commitment to begin putting them into practice today.
