Ep 81 // Can’t Find Time to SLOW DOWN? Why REST Can Be One of the Most PRODUCTIVE Things You Do! Biblical Perspective for Saying YES to that Summer Vacation;)

How do you feel when I say the word REST? 

 

Does it feel impossible or offensive? 

 

Does it trigger feelings of guilt and laziness?

 

Or does it sound like GOALS and something you are yearning for?

…Maybe a little of all of it?

 

I remember when rest felt like a ‘4 letter word’ to me and I would be EMBARRASSED to be seen not doing anything! 

 

Even after having a baby, I would feel so insecure about lying down to nurse my baby for a fear that others were going to think I was a lazy mom. 

 

However, the word “BUSY”

...now THAT carried some 'worthy weight' and made me feel like a better person. 

 

I could throw that word around and feel proud that I was always DOING SOMETHING. 

 

Well, God busted me big time on my habit of striving and feeling that I had to work for my worthiness. He brought to my attention how my identity was wrapped up in what I DID rather than Who I was and WHOSE I was. 

 

I’ve come a LONG way and what I actually want to tell you today is how I’ve learned that REST is actually PRODUCTIVE. 

 

Yes, you heard me right. 

For a variety of reasons, you cannot afford NOT to rest if you’re trying to reach your goals and move the needle in your business!

 

Today I’m going to tell you about how I was reminded recently about the power of pressing pause because taking time to SLOW down is necessary at times, so that you can speed up and get the WORK DONE. 

 

I hope this quick conversations frees you up a little this summer to say YES, to that vacation or to that everyday moment to kick your feet up and RELAX!
