The Importance of Rest and Reflection

Setting boundaries around technology use, such as unplugging in the evening and refraining from screen time until after morning prayers, allows for a sense of freedom and deeper presence. Designating a full rest day in the week where unnecessary activities, like excessive screen time and work, are avoided provides a rejuvenating break. Incorporating daily pauses for rest, like short Sabbath moments throughout the day, can help combat the addiction to constant stimulation and encourage a clearer focus.
