Ep #34: How to rest more Making Midlife Magic
-
- Self-Improvement
What does it mean to rest? Too often, our ideas of rest come from advertisements, which tell us that rest for women = baths and rest for men = drinking or napping.
If you enjoy these things and find them restful, go for it. But for many of us, rest is more complicated. Watching TV or taking a bath either doesn't make us feel rested, or doesn't make us feel rested for long.
We think that rest is what we get when we stop working, but here too, it's not so simple. After work, we have different work (family, volunteering, paying bills), which makes it even harder to figure out what exactly "rest" is and how to get it.
In this episode, I offer a different way to think about rest, one that disentangles it from work entirely. Learn:
⭐ Why we often don't feel rested, even in the bath
⭐ How to experience more rest at the end of the day
⭐ Why soul-feeding projects can actually help you to feel more rested
⭐ How rest is a collaboration between your body & your mind
