Rest is vital to our wellbeing and our ability to continue to live and thrive in the world. Rest is connected with Recharge, Restore, Replenish, Recalibrate, Recuperate, etc. It is an important part of Abundance. Grind and hustle culture is the product of the scarcity mindset. It tells us that "there won't be enough for you if you don't work hard". It creates FOMO (fear of missing out) and extreme competition. As a result, we don't rest or we don't dare to rest.

In this episode, we talk about how time is not a commodity. In many cultures, time is cyclical and relational. Time is not to be consumed, spent, wasted, or saved. We don't need to rush, hurry up, or catch up at all times. We can slow down, experience time, and create time. Time is one of the most important elements in Abundance. Thank you for listening!
