031: Rest: The Radical Act of Doing Less

Daniela Jentsch

Do you know how to rest? Like, really rest—without guilt, without multitasking, without that voice saying “you should be doing something”?

In this episode of Mindful Moves, I  open up about the power of rest, what it means for your nervous system, and how you can start embracing micro-moments of pause in your everyday life.

We’ll explore:

  • How our conditioning wires us to resist rest
  • Why your nervous system might be keeping you stuck in go-go-go mode
  • Active vs. passive rest—and why both matter
  • The surprising power of your breath
  • And how to start speaking to yourself with more compassion

If rest feels hard, you’re not alone. But it can become safe, nourishing, and even sacred. Tune in now—and take a deep breath with me.
