Last year it became apparent to me that I should be taking a Sabbath each week to rest and focus on what was most important in my life. Now, before I lose you, I want to make it clear that while there is certainly a biblical mandate to rest as God rested on the seventh day of creating the universe, I think that a sabbath holds value for everyone regardless of their beliefs. (Of course, if your sabbath isn’t God-focused, it will look different than mine, but the principle of resting and resetting holds true regardless.)
Building a sabbath into your week provides a whole host of physical and mental benefits if you understand why you’re doing it and how to do it well. (And while this is not the primary motivation for Christians who observe the Sabbath, it’s a clear benefit nonetheless.) In fact, this is the same concept behind the 4-day work week that some corporations are adopting these days. The result is a better work-life balance, greater satisfaction in the work that you do, and improved overall health.
So, let’s talk about how a sabbath can drive significant personal and professional growth.
