Today I rest... ❤️
Every day in my work I encourage others to slow down, listen to their bodies, honour their needs and allow themselves to rest.
Yet, if I'm honest, I don't always take my own advice.
Life is full, beautiful, busy and there is always something that needs doing. But when moments of downtime arrive, they are so important.
It's the New Moon, I'm on day 25 of my cycle and I can feel my inner winter approaching. My body feels heavy, my energy is low and I'm ready to bleed.
The exhaustion is asking to be listened to rather than pushed through.
Yesterday, before circle, I pulled a card. The message was simple:
REST
It reminded me that whilst I spend so much of my time holding space for others, it's also important to hold space for myself.
So today, I am listening.
No guilt. No rushing. No trying to be productive.
Just rest.
Thankfully, I have a relatively quiet week ahead with work, and it feels exactly what is needed right now.
A gentle reminder that rest isn't something we have to earn. Sometimes it's simply what the body is asking for and the greatest act of self-care is listening. ❤️
