Listen in to learn about the history of rest as a revolution, reframe our beliefs about rest, and affirm our need to rest. This episode discusses Tricia Hersey and her nap ministry, as well as Inemuri, the Japanese art of power napping. We discuss why rest is so important to mental health, and how to incorporate rest into our daily lives. This episode ends with a mindful meditation and affirmations!

what does rest look like to me?
what forms of rest do I enjoy?
what do I believe to be true about rest?
in what ways do I deny myself rest?

I am worthy of relaxation
I am grateful for the opportunity to rest and rejuvenate
I give myself permission to do what is right for me
I am enough as I am
I am allowed to slow down
I am allowed to say no to anything that doesn’t serve my highest good
I make space in my life for silence
I give myself permission to rest
