Manage episode 485438101 series 3348097
At the end of 2023, there was this phrase I kept hearing in my head on repeat.
"It doesn't feel safe to slow down."

But I had this constant, almost compulsive need to be doing something productive at all times.
Rest felt elusive, like this thing other people could do, once they'd earned it. For me, rest basically just meant sleep. It was a quick reset so I could get up and do it all over again.
Sound familiar? Let's figure out how we can unlearn that habit.
