When we rest we can rise.
Rise above the constant rushing and striving,
rise above the deep tiredness and people pleasing from the Christmas period,
Rise to gently accept the messy and imperfect - perfect self we can be!
Rest isn’t quitting.
It’s listening.
It’s letting life catch up with you.
I’m not one for New Years goals or resolutions but here’s a gentle affirmation to slowly drift through this season of rest.
Not everything needs to be pushed or forced.
Some things grow best when we pause.
Ask yourself do you feel “allowed” to rest? Allowed to say “No” sometimes, allowed to let go of perfect? Allowed to pause? Can you allow yourself?
“I allow myself to rest and rise.”
Here’s to more resting in 2026! 🙏❤️🌸
