December 06, 2024The Art of Rest: Why Creatives Need to Slow Down
In today's episode, we’re talking about why you’ve gotta slow down to speed up! In our society we have been taught that the most worthy thing that we can be is productive… but when we don’t prioritize rest we burn out and we halt the brain’s natural processes of connecting information. Today we’re going to talk about how hustle culture is not constructive to a life as an artist, why you should incorporate rest into your life every day, and what the two forms of rest are. This episode is a good reminder for you if you’ve been feeling like every bit of effort you make is forced and you’re close to burn out.

We talk about:
How the glamorization of hustle culture is toxic
Why you can’t make everything happen
Allowing the universe to work its magic
the science of rest! How resting is productive for the long term and for your health
What rest can look like for you
