A Dose of Inspiration for When You Feel Torn Between Doing and Being

Listen, my dear one, you absolutely, 1000% deserve to feel really, really good every single day of your life. Including TODAY.

And contrary to what you may see over and over on the Internet … doing nothing isn’t always what makes you feel good.

What?

It’s true.

I know because I doing nothing has about one minute of charm for me – a doer.

And, I also know because I am hired primarily to be my clients’ MIC – Motivator in Chief.

Our tendency as human beings is to rest. It’s actually quite hard to make ourselves work really hard.

And all that pushing that we do to keep up, striving and make things happen is what is utterly exhausting.

And that is what seems to be driving so many people’s desire to REST.

Years of languishing, striving for perfection, overworking, being the Good Girl and doing so much for others has got you to a breaking point of burnout and exhaustion.

But like usual, I have a lot to say about these conflicting thoughts between doing and being, working and rest and striving and settling.

I’m a big fan of building in sustainable rest, renewal and revitalizing in mind, body and spirit SO THAT you can do all the amazing things you want to do in your life without forcing it.

I’ve been talking about all of this for years because I know for a fact that we thrive when we’re in flow DOING.

But WHAT YOU ARE DOING is what matters most and when you put your own #UnshakeableResilience at the forefront you are stronger in mind, body and spirit.

I am a doer. I take very good care of myself. My well-being is a 10 6/7 days of the week. I am not problem free or struggle free. I work very hard for my family and my life.

AND

I want desperately to make a bigger impact, to disrupt the status quo that so many others are happy to duck out of and away from and to serve deeply in this world.

My inner fire is hot and rest is not really needed when your soul is on fire with passion.

So, I want to remind you that, yes, you need to take care of yourself AND that isn’t always doing nothing and resting. More often than not it’s actually more essential in choosing the sacred, conscious action that is going to send you into a flow state of joy, contentment and service to others.

Sometimes the Brave Yes is rest.
