216: August Rest Series: A Rest Meditation - What Does Rest Feel Like for you?

from The Habit Thrive Podcast ~ Self Care Habits, Mindfulness & Wellness Routines for Women 50 & Beyond · host Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care

If July was all about joy, August feels like an invitation to slow down and savor it.I like to think of August as the “Sunday of summer.” The pace feels a little softer, the long days are still here, and there’s an opportunity to pause, breathe, and enjoy the fruits of all our work.This month on the Habit Thrive Podcast, I want to explore something many of us struggle with: Rest.We often treat rest like a reward we’ll get to once everything else is done. But what if rest isn’t something we earn? What if it’s an important part of restoration?On episode #216 today, I’m inviting you to begin thinking differently about rest and to consider what rest actually feels like in your body and mind. I’ll also guide you through a relaxing Rest Inquiry meditation that you can do right in the middle of your day—not just when you’re getting ready for bed.You can do it sitting outside, in your favorite chair, on a walk, or wherever you feel comfortable. The goal is simply to pause, soften, and remind your body that it’s okay to slow down.So, welcome to August. This month, we’re giving ourselves permission to rest, restore, and enjoy a little more of the “Sunday of summer.”xoxoLorrieLoving the show? Let’s connect!
