844: Rest Is Your Birthright, Not a Reward
Over the last few years, I have heard the discourse on rest evolve dramatically.\xa0More and more books are coming out on the importance of rest.\xa0Doctors, therapists, and thought leaders are addressing the ways our chronic hustling has harmed us as individuals and as a society.\xa0This is great and necessary progress.\xa0\xa0\nIt is very hard to reprogram a society that was built on devaluing rest, even going so far as labeling anything that\u2019s not explicitly productive as \u201clazy\u201d.\nLast year, I read Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey and my eyes were further opened to how our inability to rest is all part of Supremacy culture. Not resting isn\u2019t new.\xa0It\u2019s part of an over 400-year-old, very intentionally built system.\xa0\xa0\nAs you think about what you want and what you need for yourself this year, I want to invite you to explore your relationship with rest.\xa0Is resting hard for you, even downright uncomfortable?\xa0Do you have a hard time giving yourself permission to do nothing?\xa0Do you use rest as a reward when, in reality, it is your birthright?\nIn this episode, you will have the chance to explore your roots with rest as well as your current relationship with rest.\xa0If you find rest to be uncomfortable, I\u2019m right there with you.\xa0This episode is for us!\xa0Let\u2019s make this the year that we reframe our relationships with rest and model what rest looks like to those around us so they may build healthier relationships with rest, shall we?\nLink mentioned:\nBook: Rest Is Resistance by Tricia Hersey\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
