Renew our vitality, bring us so much more brain power for the day, all that we need for our work and our play; or almost all--for there are many little rests during the day, little openings for rest that we need to take, and that we can teach ourselves to take as a matter of course.

We can sit restfully at each one of our three meals.

Eat restfully and quietly, and so make each meal not only a means of getting nourishment, but of getting rest as well.

There is all the difference of illness and health in taking a meal with strain and a sense of rush and pressure of work, and in taking it as if to eat that one meal were the only thing we had to do in the day.

Better to eat a little nourishing food and eat it quietly and at leisure than a large meal of the same food with a sense of rush.
This is a very important factor in keeping rested.
Then there are the many expected and unexpected times in the day when we can take rest and so _keep rested._ If we have to wait we can sit quietly.
