Your permission to rest and how to deal with rest guilt
Episode 18 - Consider this episode your permission to rest! I wanted to speak into rest and the guilt that can come along with it for many of us. This is still something that comes up for me as I love to rest and nap often!
In this fast paced and achievement driven world we find ourselves in, it can be a challenge to allow our bodies and minds to rest. We don’t need a reason to rest and we don’t need to ‘deserve’ to rest but I also talk through some reasons that rest is good for us and even productive, if that helps your mind to accept a nap here and there!
In today’s episode I cover:
- Procrastination vs laziness
- Napping and guilt
- Sleepiness and avoidance
- How rest is productive
- The ancient Chinese concept of Wu Wei
- Where your effort comes from and what drives you
- Creating from a space of love
- Meditation and sleep
- Breaking down your tasks
