It is important to recognize that the body and mind have their own rhythms and rules, which represent the coordination and unity between humans and nature. If we do not allocate time for rest and health, we will create time for illness; if we do not allocate time for mental peace, we will create time for worry. Stop the hurried pace, calm the restless mind, and ask yourself daily: What is the most precious thing? What is the most meaningful thing? Cherish and protect the most precious things, and use limited time and energy to do the most meaningful things!
