3. maybe your body just plain needs to rest

Sometimes it's hard to just, plain let go and rest. Sometimes it helps me to rest by getting offline (which is really bad for true rest) and stop trying to do anything. It's ok to do nothing -- not even meditate -- and just plain rest, with no expectations. At most, just put on some music, lie back and allow yourself to do nothing. Or pick out an easy read, such as a funny book or romance or anything you enjoy reading on a vacation, again with no expectations, and just lie down and go through the motions of reading. Or rent a relaxing movie.

Just a thought. It's probably what I need right, lol...
