Rest/Relax/Read

Does anyone know how to rest anymore?  I think women have especially forgotten how.  I know I have.  I am working on it though.  For the month of May I am going to close my eyes for 10 minutes twice a day and look at the back of my eyelids.

I am also going to relearn how to relax.  I am doing a book signing at a yoga studio on Saturday.  I have not been in a yoga studio..well ever.  I am thinking I may want to give it a try.  I know I can no longer sit in bed with my laptop and convince myself I am watching tv, spending quality time with my husband and writing.  I really want to be but I need to realize I am not Wonderwoman.  I can multi-task as well as the best but I am fooling myself if I believe I am giving all 100%.

Ahh reading…Ever since I became serious about becoming an author my reading has slowed.  I used to read 2 books a week and the whole entire newspaper every single day.  Now I am lucky to read a book quarterly and I get my news alerts on my phone.  I tell myself I will catch up on Sunday but I never do.

I know that in order to be a good writer I have to read.  I am not ready to commit to the 100 books a year challenge but I am going to make a serious effort to lighten my tbr pile.  For now my eyes are seeing fuzz from trying to read A-Z posts.  Who else thought they could make it through that list??

How about you, do you have trouble resting, relaxing or reading?  How about the men..do you have these issues??
