Hello friends! This week's episode is just me and you. This kicks off the first episode where I am going to give you creative prompts in order to answer this question, How can I resist the urge to constantly do, be productive, be on the go-go-go and not feel guilty about taking time for ourselves. 

But trust me. there is a method to the what we think is the madness, of unapologetic rest. 

I share ways that helped me find moments to take a pause from work to see and respond honestly yes, this is the work that I want to be doing, or no, I need to change direction. 

How talking a rest can actually give you more energy to get things done. 

Here are my three tips:

Tip#1 ~Notice how you feel. Take stock and listen to what your body is telling you. 

Tip#2 ~Look at your situation from a bird's eye view. Track your point A (where you are) to point B (where you think you want to be) and make sure you pre-plot in your rest stops along the way. For your day-to-day it can be a 15-30min dance or meditation. If it's over the course of a month, what day(s) can you take for yourself? What would fulfill you with absolute energized peace. Peace that fills your entire body. Ahhh..le sigh. 

Tip#3 ~Be ***productively unproductive REST. FULL STOP. PERIOD. Put away social media!! Have compassion for yourself when you want to do absolutely nothing. There’s guilt and shame and attached thoughts of laziness when we don’t have the energy to do anything. BUT please, I’m not your MOMMA but I’m going to preach to you, give yourself permission to REST.

In these moments rest can ultimately lead you to heart centred peace!

Thank you for listening. I appreciate YOU!
