Imagine clearing everything out of a room until it is completely empty.
You then dust, wipe the walls, vacuum the floor and then mop it. You wipe the windows and polish the glass.
The space has now been freshened up and it’s time to start bringing things back in.
You’d be quite intentional about what you bring back into the room because it’s now a totally clean space.
Whereas before, with the dust and dirt you didn’t care as much what was in the room and what you brought into it.
The same applies when you take a break from your normal routine to rest and restore. Once the break is over, you might find that you’d rather create a whole new routine than go back to the one you were used to.
