I figured this one might strike a chord for you Jillian! Totally agree that we all deserve rest just for being :) I loved your post on the types of rest, I’ve returned to it a few times.
Great piece that is soooo needed! Thanks for the reminder, and inspo for an upcoming newsletter. (My March theme is about doing less and getting rid of excess baggage in all forms that are weighing us down. In the midst of all of that, the reminder to REST is so important!)
Thanks Abbey, I’m glad this resonated with you. That sounds like a great theme! As I get closer to moving back to London I’ve been trying to lighten my physical baggage with lots of decluttering and downsizing stuff. It’s surprisingly freeing to clear space. ✨
I would have been fuming too, then full of self doubt, that what I need to do for my own wellbeing isn't enough. I used to suffer with stress on the Sunday and deliberately did things I enjoyed that would take me away from work, not dump myself in it. I totally agree with the right to disconnect. As someone who always feels I need to be productive with my time (whenever that is and however that looks) it has taken me much self discipline to allow myself the time and space to just be. I tend to guard it fiercely these days!
Glad to hear you’re guarding your space Kym, it’s so important to protect it and do what you need for your wellbeing. I sometimes try to do too much, especially as I build my side hustle. But I’m getting better at maintaining boundaries with my 9-5 otherwise it just takes over. Good luck with the productivity urge!
Emails as a grounding practice?! Give me a break! 🤬
Everyone deserves real rest because they are a human being, not as a means to come back more productive. Thanks for the shout out!
