Tired and weary?
It's a common misconception that 'rest' is something that we have to earn.
I'll rest when I finish this.....
I'll rest when I've done all the things on my list.
Or that it's something that lazy people do, when they give up on the actions that they are taking.
Or when they can't be bothered.
And then there's that phrase. I'll rest when I'm dead.
Meaning that ALL of life has to be busy and 100mph. That you shouldn't rest while you're alive and well.
But here's the thing.
Rest is an action you take. It's integration. Embodiment.
Rest is honouring yourself, integrating the thoughts and processes you are experiencing. Embodying the rhythm of nature, which you are actually part of.
The Earth rests during Autumn and Winter so that it can recharge and become the wonderful abundance that we see in Spring and Summer.
And we are the same.
So connect to yourself, feel into how your body is feeling.
Listen to where you feel the need to rest and release in your body.
Know yourself and honour the ebb and flow of you.
If you do this, you'll reap the benefits ten fold and become much more of the person you are striving to be.
