Online Class Notes (Jesse)

Chinese New Year holiday is coming! Many Chinese will have more than 10days leave from next week. When you ask them how to spend their holiday, I thought most of them would answer“Take a break”“Take a rest’, but if you ask them what “ real rest “ is, I think a lot of people don’t know the answer. I joined a class whose name is “how to balance your life”, and the coach of the class told us some knowledges about rest. First, “Knowing how to rest” is a kind of ability, you must pick the suitable type of rest for yourself. There are three kinds of rests including “Active leisure” , with movement being outing and physical exercise: “Passive leisure”, like Watching TV, Reading and Listen to the music; “Social Leisure”, means spend time with friends.
People can try different kinds of rests and invest more time on the one which you feel comfortable as it can help you to improve the sense of happiness and reduce pressure. Besides, everyone must realize that both rest and working are important, rest can improve productivity. Meanwhile，develop a deep hobby is also a good idea, although some hobbies spend your time or have some request of physical or psychological, it can immerse you and completely relax. So “ Have a good rest” is not easy, but it is not a problem if you can pick correctly.
