Rest Reflection: Ep 89

I asked a series of prompts in A Place to Rest community this week today and I wanted to share them with you.

I invite you to use them as a meditation (the recorded version is episode 89). Use it as a way to sit with yourself and invite yourself to reflect on rest without judgement. Please don't use this as an opportunity to have that critical voice in your head say mean things to you!

The Mind is a Powerful Tool; Ep 88

The Mind is a Powerful Tool; Ep 88

The mind is a powerful tool that we can use for or against ourselves. We all have a critical voice in our heads that lead us to believe the stories of insufficiency (not having enough, or that we are not good enough for example). The good news is that there is another way we can use this powerful tool in our lives- one that will support us.

Rest is not a Reward: Ep 86

Rest is not a Reward: Ep 86

We've been taught to believe that rest is a reward. That we can only rest IF we finish all the things, and as long as someone doesn't need us. This is toxic patriarchy, and there is another way to think about rest. Let's talk about the other possibility and how we can live our lives from a place of unconditional rest.   Let's change your relationship with rest, and yourself.

Self-Compassion is the Heart of Rest: Ep 85

It can be so hard to actually stop doing all the things we think we need to be doing. Sitting still or not doing can be extremely hard when there is the critical voice in the head yelling about why we should be productive, or doing something other than resting. Find out why self-compassion is the heart of rest, and what steps you can take to make it easier to take the rest that you need to be healthy and well.

Detox from the Culture of Doing: Ep 84

Detox from the Culture of Doing: Ep 84

Society has conditioned women to believe that we need to keep doing in order to be loved. That doing may look like losing weight, being pretty, being smart, having a beautifully organized and picture perfect home, being the right amount of whatever without being arrogant. This causes us to constantly be doing to seek approval, belonging, and love.  What's actually true is the opposite. Being instead of doing is the antidote. It's time to detox from the constant messages of "doing" in today's world.   

Join me for practice in how to rest and stop the cycle of doing!

Why Resistance Will Lead You To What You Want: Ep 80

Why Resistance Will Lead You To What You Want: Ep 80

That voice in your head that says "I don't want to" is really resistance. Noticing and becoming aware of the resistance is like following the yellow brick road to what you really want. Sometimes the resistance is because you are doing something you think you should be doing, and sometimes it is pointing you back to what is going to really serve you in your life. Want to know how to tell the difference? Listen in to this week's episode of Whole Body Upgrade.

Self Compassion is Critical for Your Health. Ep. 67

I’ve been noticing a lot of turmoil in my life. I’ve been going through some health issues lately and getting frustrated with the lack of knowledge and answers. I’m finding myself going through my processes again and using the 5 wellness bodies to see what’s out of alignment. What’s happening physically, emotionally, mentally, energetically, and spiritually?

Sometimes answers aren’t forthcoming, and that’s ok. No matter what, I’m showing up for myself with compassion and love. I can only do the best that I can at this moment. Each moment is another opportunity to show up for myself the best I can.

The Magic of Cleaning out the Refrigerator. Ep. 66

The Magic of Cleaning out the Refrigerator. Ep. 66

I had a magical moment with my refrigerator the other week. There’s been a problem with the fridge for some time now that my husband and I have been avoiding. Everything was still functioning but there was a small drip happening that let us know something wasn’t right.

After weeks of this, we finally looked at each other and decided we had to do something. My husband got to fixing the leak and  I threw out anything that had been in there for too long and started cleaning. At the end of the day, there was magic in that moment. The leak was fixed and the fridge looked amazing! I felt more calm and frankly even felt more organized in my life. It’s like my own life got a reboot.

I realized that this is exactly how life works. My experience has been that something little needs attention and we ignore it over and over for a variety of reasons. You may not know how good you can feel, but I do. I know how good it can be for you and I want to show you that you can be clear, certain, and inspired in your life.
