TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO REST 😌

How do you like to recharge for the week?

Rest has always been a bit tricky for me. Slowing down used to make me feel anxious, but I’ve made progress. 🌱

I've built a habit of taking time each morning to reflect, journal, meditate, plan, and pray. These practices have had a huge positive impact on my life.

But taking an entire day to rest? That's still a challenge. What does "rest" even mean?

Rest might look different for you than it does for me. I’m working my way towards more reading time, but an hour of not moving is my current limit during waking hours. That's just how I'm wired.

Whatever rest looks like for you, I hope you're finding ways to recharge that work best for YOU.

I've learned that rest doesn’t have to fit someone else's definition. It's okay to rest in the ways that work for you.

People often define rest, work, service, love, and other things, then try to impose those definitions on you. Don’t let them. You’re the creator of your life. Create a path that allows you to show up strong, healthy, and balanced. There's freedom and power in that.

Once you achieve that balance, you can make a beautiful impact wherever you go.

Enjoy your rest today, friends—whatever that looks like for you! 💖
