In a society that often equates our worth with productivity, focusing on rest and recovery can feel unsafe, potentially leading to increased stress in both our minds and bodies. By challenging the need to be constantly productive and redefining our relationship with rest, we can uncover a common theme: doing more doesn’t always equate to achieving more. Whether that is career success, finances, healing, etc.
Actually, the opposite can be true: the more we rest, the more productive we are able to be. In today’s episode, we invite entrepreneur, best-selling author, and mother of two, Kate Northrup, to discuss how crucial rest and recovery are for the success of our businesses, families, and overall well-being.
We emphasize the importance of feeling safe when resting, especially for those who may not be accustomed to it due to past experiences with rest, or lack thereof, shaped by family or societal influences. Kate also touches on her frameworks discussed in her book Do Less, and how they can help reframe how we view rest. It’s no wonder our society is burnt out and exhausted when we are constantly told that we aren’t doing enough, often pushing ourselves to the brink. It can feel like an uphill battle trying to keep up or excel, especially while exhausted.
Collectively, our nervous systems are in need of a gentle touch, which requires rest, whether that is passive or active. So we want to give you a peek into the importance of priming your nervous system for rest and reframing how to incorporate rest into your life today.
