In this episode, I delve into the importance of granting ourselves the permission to rest, especially for high performers and business owners who are accustomed to constant chaos. I reflect on personal experiences of feeling uneasy during holidays or downtime, I reveal how a life built on chaos can affect our perception of rest and self-worth. The discussion highlights the realisation that chaos, while it may have been a driving force, does not need to dictate our current state of being. I offer listeners a 'recipe for relaxation' that encourages embracing calmness and openness to receiving, rather than relentless doing. I emphasise the power of overdoing, along with the concept that rest builds the capacity for attracting positive outcomes. I challenge you to confront your anxieties and recognise that thoughts do not equate to reality, urging a shift from chaos-driven action to peaceful being. As we approach the end of the year, I introduce the idea of 'separation season,' a time for self-improvement and intentional action. Instead of succumbing to old patterns, I encourage you to stretch yourself, make intentional changes, and take decisive steps in various aspects of life, from health and business to family and relationships.  I finish with a potent reminder that while planning is crucial, it is the act of doing that forges a life worth emulating.
