Here's the 3 takeaways:
- Catch: Notice this week the urge to do more, when you decline your brain or body's request for rest because you feel like you can't until you get it "all" done.
- Challenge: Notice the urge of, "I can't sit down until X, Y, Z is done" and respond with, "but what if I can? What if I can take a moment to rest and just be?" & if you're feeling spicy - "what if I can just leave that task undone? Or at least undone until tomorrow?"
- Change: Do differently, take that 1 or 10 or 15 minutes to rest & let yourself be uncomfortable in that rest.
