112. You Are Allowed to Hibernate, Too: Learning how to Rest In a World That Never Stops

Growing wiser into the ancient knowledge of our spirit and the animalistic nature of our humanity demands the realization that many things our society looks at as luxuries are actually necessities. One of them: rest.As a society, we have a complicated relationship with rest. An anxious-avoidant one where we long for it, but don't want to get too comfortable in it. We crave it, yet we fear leaning into it.In this Winter Solstice episode, we lean into a discussion about restoring balance in our natural rhythms and cycles through embracing rest and ritualizing our lives with intention.I take you through my complicated and once toxic relationship with rest and productivity, and the ways that I've healed it.What I've found is that -Inspiration strikes most in surrender,Romance can flourish in the spaces in between -And when we allow ourselves the birthright of rest and recovery, we can receive so much more.In a world that never stops turning, if lighting a candle and reading a book in the sun as it begins to set early is an act of rebellion, then let us all be the leaders of the next revolution.-If you love FSO & this episode, leave a comment!!
