When smart farmers farm the land, they don't plant the same crops on the same plot year in and year out. Periodically, the allow the land to lie fallow.
Lying fallow allows the land to take a breath and time for nature to do reparative work.
A friend of mine who is holding down two jobs and planning the seeds of a new business described how she became sick and was forced to take a couple days off.
She described how good it felt to rest. Then thoughts began to float into her consciousness. Her intuition had the quiet and the space to make itself heard.
Given her schedule and the necessity to bring in a sufficient income to pay her bills, she probably would not have taken the time-out any other way.
But finding a way to build in periodic rest and relaxation will ultimately make you more productive and more in tune with your intuition.
