Monday Words: Learn to Rest Not Quit

Happy Monday everyone!

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been establishing a new rhythm. A rhythm where morning routines are the norm, where dinner breaks happen, and a settling in a new place has started to occur. I’m finding out more about myself and the beauty of rest. It’s more necessary in this season than any I’ve been in before- something I’m keenly aware of.

This quarter is always one that sees large projects come forth  (This year isn’t any different.) What does it look like to work from a place of rest? To find work life balance? To have a steadiness within that sits as an anchor? Regardless of what occurs, the moments where it seems that life is knocked out of you, trying to catch your breath, you instead choose to rest, regroup, and move forward.

Resting is key to avoiding burnout. Plain and simple. As you embark on this week, what if busy wasn’t a badge of honor? What if a schedule with margin and breathing room, where a cultivation of relationships and community, was just as revered as the one loaded with hustle. May you learn the beauty of rest, day after day.
