This is such an important and welcome message, Kim. Thank you! I am definitely a card carrying fixer and rest resister - it's probably the driving force behind the thousands of hours of restorative yoga teacher trainings I've done ;) I bow down to the challenge of approaching rest as a practice, and value being on this road together! The habit I'm trying to break at the moment is walking around with ear pods in my ears. It's humbling how hard this is! To just be here now, without trying to change my environment with a phone call or listening to Beyonce's Texas Hold'em for the millionth time (I blame you!). Going to take this all in xx

LOL on listening to Beyoncé on repeat or should I say YOU'RE WELCOME!

I so appreciate this share and love that we are practicing rest together 🙏 And I love not having earbuds in. I've done that as well and it's an incredible practice for sound meditation and deeply listening as a practice of presence. Thank you for this reminder <3

Thank you so much for reading and being a part of my little Substack community! Funny enough I came across one of your articles on Tricycle the other day and felt your practice through the screen 🙏

Love this. Such a great question to reflect on.. I’m in between jobs, with more truly “free” time than I’ve had in ages, and (very fortunately) financially secure, and yet having the hardest time granting myself real rest. Ty for the prompt to explore!

Oh man. I relate to this so much Gloria. As always we are so aligned in what we are navigating spiritually. What a great opportunity to look at the conditioning that lives inside of us. So glad to have be a part of my reading community 🙏 Keep me updated on how this is going!
