You know you need rest. You might even be exhausted. But when you finally have the chance to stop, you find yourself reaching for your phone, thinking about everything you should be doing, or getting back up to tackle one more thing.
In this episode, we're looking at the gap between knowing you need rest and actually being able to take it. I talk about why stopping can feel surprisingly uncomfortable, what staying in motion might be doing for you, and why the discomfort that shows up when you slow down may be useful information rather than evidence that you're bad at resting.
What You'll Discover:
- Why knowing you need rest doesn't automatically make it easy to rest
- What productivity and staying in motion might be doing for you
- Why thoughts, emotions, and sensations can get louder when you slow down
- How to start getting curious about your own relationship with rest
If you've ever wondered why you can't seem to relax even when you know how much you need it, this episode will help you look at rest through a different lens.
