After the exhausting year of 2022, it's time to rest! No wonder everyone around me is in an exhausted state. This gave me a chance to think, "What does it actually look like to quit?" Is this quitting a job or a relationship? And then I thought about, "What is causing me to quit?" Instead of quitting, do I just need a rest? Do we give up on things too easily due to frustration, or what? Or what does rest look like for you?
Well, I'm here to tell you – REST! Give yourself a break, you deserve it after all the work you have been putting in. Give yourself the opportunity to "Rest, don't quit".

In a world where we are constantly being pulled in a million different directions, it's important to remember to allow others to show up for us. We can't do everything alone, and that's okay. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. When we allow others to support us, we create space for them to feel needed and valued. In turn, they are often more likely to reciprocate when we need them. So the next time you're feeling overwhelmed, remember to reach out to your network of loved ones and ask for their help. You'll be surprised how good it feels to let others show up for you.
Join Dalijah as she discusses how to open up to our network of friends and family to support us from our struggles to our dreams.
