The latter is where a lot of people are at right now. Exhaustion. Emptiness. Feeling depleted. You know that you need to rest and restore, however you instead want to push a little bit more and a little bit more.
The saying goes, you cannot fill from an empty cup.
Because the more you push and force past exhaustion, the more hurt you’re creating for your body. This can lead to a weakened immune and nervous system, which can lead to chronic stress and illness - to name the bare minimum. We have to pause, observe and provide for ourselves when our bodies are tired. And having a healthy and thriving bodily system is crucial - especially now and especially ALWAYS.
My chosen restorative practices include meditation, breathing exercises, grounding, being in nature, yoga, painting, journaling, reading and being in water.
