How are you feeling while reading this? Are you feeling well-rested, or overworked? Are you feeling like you have enough rest in your life, or every moment is filled with another to-do?

In this episode, Krystal and Gabby talk about rest and the power of pause. They break down the hustle culture and how that’s influenced our need to constantly be working. They emphasize the influence that the digital world has on resting.

Diving deep into comparison they talk about some of the negative self-talk that can come up when you finally decide to rest. How comparing yourself to others who may be “doing more” than you, is really just a disservice to you. 

Plus they bring in the science of your nervous system and explain how rest powers many of the primary functions of your body. Rest is a biological need! They share ways they have infused rest into their everyday routines.

It can be hard to make time for rest, but we hope after listening to this episode you can start making small changes towards a more restful life.
