Ready To Rise

330. Why You Can’t Relax (Even When You Finally Have Time Off)


Listen Later

You finally clear your calendar, make the cozy latte, put on the comfort movie… and then your brain starts screaming that you “should be doing something.”

That isn’t laziness. That’s a dysregulated nervous system.

In this episode, Audrey breaks down why rest can feel wrong in your body — especially if you’re used to running on stress, overworking, and staying in “go mode” 24/7 — and what to actually do in that moment so you can downshift without spiraling.

We talk about:

  • Why your body thinks stillness = danger
  • The “to-do list panic” that kicks in the second you slow down
  • How to interrupt that stress response in real time
  • Simple somatic tools (box breathing, butterfly tapping, sound healing) to get your body to feel safe again
  • How to let yourself enjoy doing nothing without the guilt, the shame, or the fake productivity loop

If you’ve ever felt restless, annoyed, or anxious when you try to relax… listen to this one.
