If one thing seems as important to do as another you can make up your mind that of course you can only do what you have time for, and the remainder must go.

You cannot do what you have time to do so well if you are worrying about what you have no time for.

There need be no abnormal sense of rush about it.
Just as Nature tends toward health, Nature tends toward rest--toward the right kind of rest; and if we have lost the true knack of resting we can just as surely find it as a sunflower can find the sun.

It is not something artificial that we are trying to learn--it is something natural and alive, something that belongs to us, and our own best instinct will come to our aid in finding it if we will only first turn our attention toward finding our own best instinct.
We must have something to rest from, and we must have something to rest for, if we want to find the real power of rest.

Then we must learn to let go of our nerves and our muscles, to leave everything in our bodies open and passive so that our circulation can have its own best way.
