Do What Brings You Joy - Even If You Aren't Very Good At It!
🌟 Have you ever been discouraged from pursuing activities you love? 🌟
As children, many of us were told to rein in our energy, whether it was painting, singing, or dancing. Perhaps our families didn't see the value in these pursuits or doubted our abilities.
I remember being told, "Don't sing, you don't have a singer's voice." It made me uncomfortable to sing and also to speak up. It silenced me for years, but I realized something important: the joy of singing outweighs any criticism of my voice.
I also enjoyed dancing and certainly wasn't very good at it, but it was a form of expression that relaxed me, felt good, and helped me connect with my body in a positive way.
What about you? What brings you joy, even if you're not an expert?
Remember, if it brings you joy, it's worth doing!
Today, I challenge you to embrace that joy, whether it's singing, dancing, or another activity. Your happy vibes and positivity will uplift many around you too!
Go on, take the leap, and go for it!
Sing, dance, yodle, do cartwheels, blow soap bubbles - go for your joy!🚀

Do you feel like you're constantly running on empty?
As someone who has grappled with chronic insomnia for most of my life, I understand the struggle firsthand. I've also discovered that there's more to rest than just sleeping. Incorporating the nine types of rest into your life can make a profound difference in your energy levels and overall well-being.
Let's explore the 9 types of rest; from digital detox to sensory, time, and environmental rest, each type plays a unique and important role in replenishing your energy reserves and enhancing your quality of life.
1. Physical Rest:
Definition: Allowing your body to recover and rejuvenate by reducing physical activity and promoting relaxation.
Examples:
Taking naps or lying in comfortable positions that support your body to relax muscles.
Engaging in gentle stretching, qi gong, or yoga to release tension.
2. Mental Rest:
Definition: Giving your mind a break from continuous thinking and mental stimulation.
Examples:
Practicing mindfulness, gentle contemplation, or meditation to calm the mind.
Spending time in nature to clear the mind and reduce mental fatigue.
3. Emotional Rest:
Definition: Providing yourself with space and time to acknowledge and process your emotions.
Examples:
Journaling to express and reflect on feelings.
Spending time with loved ones who provide emotional support and compassionate understanding.
4. Social Rest:
Definition: Taking a break from social interactions and responsibilities to recharge social energy.
Examples:
Having a quiet evening alone to read or pursue a hobby.
Setting boundaries on social commitments to prevent overwhelm.
5. Digital Rest:
Definition: Disconnecting from electronic devices and screens to reduce digital stimulation.
Examples:
Implementing a screen-free hour before bed to promote better sleep.
Going on a digital detox weekend to focus on real-life interactions and activities.
6. Spiritual Rest:
Definition: Nurturing your spiritual well-being and finding inner peace, stillness, and connection.
Examples:
Engaging in prayer, meditation, or reflection.
Spending time in nature to feel connected to something greater than oneself.
7. Creative Rest:
Definition: Allowing your mind to rest from having to generate new ideas and creative output. Instead, allow for inspiration to gently fill your cup.
Examples:
Taking a leisurely walk or engaging in a creative hobby without being pressured for results.
Allowing yourself to enjoy art, music, or literature without analyzing or critiquing.
8. Sensory Rest:
Definition: Limiting exposure to sensory stimuli to give your senses a break.
Examples:
Creating a calm and quiet environment by dimming lights and reducing noise.
Taking a warm bath with soothing scents to relax the senses.
9. Time Rest:
Definition: Allocating time specifically for rest and relaxation in your schedule. That's right, this is your turn to do absolutely "nothing" - but intelligently.
Examples:
Setting aside regular breaks throughout the day.
Prioritizing leisure activities and downtime in your weekly planner where you have no commitments to anyone or anything. This is "open space" for whatever you feel like doing - including lying in the grass and looking at the stars at night or the clouds during the day. Nothing is expected of you, nothing is needed of you; you simply BE in whatever way feels best during that allocated time. Creating space to do "nothing intelligently" is extremely important and greatly undervalued.
