What do I mean by Empowering Rest?

By gifting ourselves time to rest, to stop and breathe, we are asserting many things to ourselves. It shouldn't neccessarily be a gift, it should be standard practice, but in this world we've created as humans, it doesn't function tp promote rest. Rest doesn't make the corporate machine money, it doesn't generate capital and it certainly isn't something the work place would want to encourage!

We firstly, by resting, allow our body and mind to recharge. The world is filled with chaos, doing, jobs, to do lists, life demands and even things like toxins, poisons and overwhelming market strategies, pressure and celebrations of overwork. We desperately need more time out from it all, and that can look any way it needs to for you. Just stop. Just say no. Protecting your peace means you empower yourself to prioritise your need to recharge. We can't do it all, that's just facts. We all have limits, and there's no good thing to be gained from burning out.

When you start protecting your peace and prioritising rest, you will learn more about yourself. How you approach rest, what you've learnt about rest in your life, what barriers crop up for you in regards to rest, how easy or difficult you find it. So many interesting parts of yourself will step forward for you to navigate. When we learn more about who we are, we become more empowered in our self identity.

We rest, we find more about ourselves. We showcase that to the world and find a quiet empowerment which is self contentment.
