Joyce says that the soul is your mind, will and emotions. These are very important parts of your whole being. When you go on vacation do you also take a break from worries and emotional stress? Lately, I have been having anxiety about my new job. Will I be good enough? Then, I'm reminded to lean on my higher power and trust. I can only do my best and however it turns out I will be able to handle whatever comes. There is no point of being stressed about something when I'm doing my best.
Another reason to rest your soul is because when you are not rested you can become cranky. I know after a hard day at work that I can be cranky when I get home. After several minutes of "unwinding" I return to my normal self. But only after my soul has rested. If I'm able to rest before I talk to anyone then that hopefully would stop any fighting or non niceness toward a loved one. If I do happen to snap at someone then that one action can determine the next few hours of possible torturous fighting. Ugh! It's never worth the one snide comment when you are tired but it happens. Then, you have to pay for it. I will try to stay quiet until I have gotten enough rest in my soul to be pleasant to others.
