Actually, I have heard of this. I already make an effort to unplug on Shabbat (OK, I sometimes check my email). One thing that really should be on the list is "take a nap".
3) nurture health. I like this one. While it seems odd I love getting in a workout on shabbat. Why? because putting in time to attune your mind to your body and how it is working is not only enjoyable but the restful satisfaction after you are done is fantastic. I would actually love to do yoga on Shabbat simply because of the place of peace it leaves you at when you are done. Unfortunately there are normally too many people pulling at me to be able to put in the 90 minutes. My hope is one day to have a small group of people to be able to do this w/ on Shabbat afternoons. I have never experienced a rest quite like the one that comes after finishing yoga.
