You are enough simply by being alive.

Thank you for living.

Thank you for resisting.

Thank you for creating.

Thank you for dreaming.

Thank you for resting.

I am currently interested in the topics of slowing down, rest and downshifting, so I seek out and read books dedicated to these subjects (written mostly by women I must add). The book above is a must read for weary, burnt out souls craving slower living aligned with our natural rhythms.

Rest looks like tapping in and listening to what your body and soul want. It’s extra time while bathing, even an extra ten minutes of concentrated silence. Rest is taking a leisurely walk and dancing. Rest is a tea ritual allowing you to meditate while breathing in each warm sip. Rest is not returning an email immediately and maintaining healthy boundaries. Rest is honoring the boundaries of those you engage with. Rejecting urgency. Rest is detoxing from social media. Rest is listening and healing from individual trauma. Rest is journaling so you can be a witness to your own inner knowing without the energy of others. Rest uplifts and boosts our Spirit, allowing us to know that we are enough, and the care of our souls deserves a role in our healing plans.”
