Rest as a rebellious act


Feeling overwhelmed and waiting to get through the backlog of things-to-do before you rest?


The mistaken belief that we cannot rest when we need to - just because we feel like it. 


Culturally unacceptable to rest when you are tired - just because you feel like it is derided.


And yet rest is such a beautiful thing. How good do you feel when well-rested? How much clarity and ease and joy to you gain from resting?


We have one body and yet we treat it as if we can just swap it out for the new one hanging fresh and ready to go at the back of the wardrobe.


Stop burning through your life-energy as if it was worthless. Listen to your body. Rest when you need to. Without guilt, or worry that you might never get up again.


Trust your body - it’s a miracle, quite literally. You’re tired because you need a break, not because you’re weak and useless.


I dare you to rebel against the pressure to keep going.


Resting is a rebellious act.


So rest.


‘Rested, we are ready for the world, but not held hostage by it…’
