Can you surrender to your body’s need for deep rest?
It amazes me how hard this is for most of us, how hard this was for me for many years. My poor body asking for a slower pace, a softer approach, and far more rest…yet I wouldn’t listen.
I was too afraid of being lazy, that others would think less of me, that I’d be left behind or left out on my desires or my purpose.
I also think it has deep seeds in earning good things, earning love, earning self worth. It’s so sad to me to look back on my life and how often I was burnt out and half living believing in a lie that I needed to be more productive to be good enough.
I’m not saying there isn’t a place for productivity, but how did productivity become more valuable than rest. How did doing become more important than our own bodies wisdom.
This is one of the biggest issues most people I work with face. Which tells me it’s part of a deeper programming. Programming that truly doesn’t have our best interest in mind. As long as we are productive at any cost, obviously we are expendable…
I say no to that bs. Big fat NO. And if you need permission to rest, consider this your permission slip. How sick and exhausted do we need to become for this to change? How much more do we need to kill our feminine energy before this changes?
If you are tired my love, it’s ok. Lay your sweet head down and relax. Rest. It will all be there when you want to return to it.
