    081. A Healthy Relationship with Rest: Healthy Homesteading Series

    081. A Healthy Relationship with Rest: Healthy Homesteading Series

    When you think of the homesteading lifestyle is part of that picture you racing around trying to get all the stuff done on the farm? Or is it you have a pace that matches nature? A place where time is not your enemy and you have a more relaxed way about you.
    Are you envisioning rest and calm or busyness and hurrying? If you are envisioning rest and calm then you must intentionally set up your life to create that.
    Because the alternative is, you wish for rest and calm but you create busy and hurry n because you didn’t actually learn how to slow down.
    Let’s stop creating busy and then blame busy for our business. How do we do that? By learning the skill of slowing down.
    As homesteaders, we are creating a life close to nature. This is part of the appeal of this lifestyle for many people. Listen to episode 81 and hear more of my thoughts on this topic.
