Do you allow yourself to rest?
During your busy, hectic days, do you purposely designate time to take respite from it all? Or instead, do you view resting as lazy? And something you should only give yourself once you get your (never-ending) To Do list done?
In this deeply heartfelt conversation, Meg invites guest Suzy Reading, psychologist and author of ‘Rest to Reset: A Busy Person’s Guide to Pausing with Purpose’, to speak about the importance of rest. Suzy and Meg explore the reasons why rest is an important act of self-compassion that can help you manage stress, emotions and your energetic bank account. Learn how you can transform your relationship with rest, plus simple ways you can incorporate moments into your day that will make a big difference.
