Busy Busy

Hands up if you've ever jumped up and pretended to be busy when someone comes home

Have you absorbed beliefs about the virtues of being busy or messages about laziness?

Do you feel guilty to take time for yourself to relax?

Your nervous system needs rest and recuperation. It needs space and time to reset out of activation mode.

Most of us have absorbed some unhelpful messages about rest and our inner critics will use this against us. Shaming us into never stopping or when we do rest having a busy mind about it.

Rest is productive and necessary!!

If you know my work you'll know that the parrot (inner critic) has many ways to keep itself over promoted and to keep us under its spell. The parrot knows if you take time to rest, in healthy ways. If you do what you love, that you'll be able to feel the beautiful inner guidance of your wise owl.

So as we approach the weekend please take a moment to reflect on your relationship with being busy and resting.

Much love x
