At Unhurried Living, we inspire Christian leaders around the world to rest deeper, live fuller and lead better.

Rest deeper. How does that happen?

There is certainly more than one answer to that question, but let's just say that it doesn’t always involve days away for retreat or vacation. Sometimes “rest deeper” can happen in just a few minutes. It’s a focus of soul, not just an emptying of our schedule.

You can practice pausing for just five minutes and learn to become present. You can regain some energy to renew and re- orient for the remainder of your day.

Here are a few practical ideas that can help you unplug and relax for just five minutes. As you engage any of these practices, remember: God is with you.
