The Power of Rest

The Seeds You Sow

"Rest is a Form of Resisting"

Since this is our first episode since August, we decided to discuss the importance of embracing rest into our overall lifestyle. In this episode, we all confessed to be guilty of staying on the grind and constantly on the go, but we decided to take a moment to reset & reflect on what happens to our mind, body, and spirit when we do not incorporate a healthy amount of rest into our daily lives.
We have a few articles for you to check out: "The Power of Rest: 4 Ways to Disengage with the Hustle" and "A Day of Rest: 12 Scientific Reasons It Works." Through this conversation we were able to uncover how our culture is socially engineered to believe that constant work and hustle equates power and success. While there is some truth that a strong work ethic will yield great results; we decided to offer the other part to that narrative that it is also equally important to rest as well. When we give ourselves the space to rest, we are actually resisting the "norm" to always perform, produce, and be constantly on the go. A balance lifestyle that reflects a healthy work ethic and moments of peaceful rest can yield results that are powerful and meaningful to our overall well being. We also defined the difference between emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical rest and offered advice to our listeners on how to incorporate more rest into t our day to day lives.
We hope this episode encourages you to resist the false narrative that says "we are defined by what we do." Instead, we want to affirm the truth that we are enough because of who you are, not what we do. And we are humans beings capable of demonstrating a strong work ethic but also deserving and in need, of moments of peaceful rest. Give yourself the space and compassion to embrace both.
