Rest is a radical act of self care. Grind culture can have us feeling as if we have to constantly be on “go” mode in order to get ahead. There will be late nights and early mornings of doing the work, but your progression in your career can not be made at the expense of your vessel.
We talk about being disciplined with our work, but a lot of people don’t talk about the discipline that comes with rest & rejuvenation. It’s easy to become so focused on your goals that when you get there, you can’t even enjoy it because you already have the next thing in mind.
Rest restores your creativity, resilience, and allows your body to physically heal.
True rest requires TRUST. Do you trust that everything is in alignment for you?
You can't rest and worry at the same time.
May the space between where you are and where you want to be feel beautiful too.
