Rest: The Unsung Hero of a Fulfilling Life
Sometimes it is rest from media, sometimes it is rest from people, yeah, and sometimes it is rest from the wrong people, and we've been talking about that for The Last Couple Of Weeks.
Ever thought rest was just about catching some Z's? Think again. In this episode of 'Conscious Contact', hosts Genay Peavey and Susan Sanders shed light on the true essence of rest and why it's a cornerstone of living a meaningful life. Rest, they argue, is not just about sleep; it’s about giving your mind, body, and soul a break from the chaos.
They explore various forms of rest, like stepping away from social media, taking breaks from certain people, and even creating a 'joy list' to infuse your days with happiness. Genay and Susan also tackle the common resistance to rest and why many of us feel guilty for taking time out. They share personal anecdotes and practical tips on how to bank rest for those hectic times when life throws curveballs.
The hosts emphasize that waiting until retirement to live the life you want is a trap; instead, they encourage listeners to take small steps now towards a fulfilling life. With their usual blend of humor and heartfelt advice, Genay and Susan make a compelling case for why rest should be viewed as a spiritual airbag—essential for cushioning the blows of life.
Whether you're struggling to find balance or just curious about how to incorporate more rest into your routine, this episode offers valuable insights that can help you lead a more authentic and joyful life.
