In this episode, I share my journey and thoughts on resting/relaxing over the years, where it comes from & the mistakes you might be making when you try to relax.
My journey with relaxing
- When I was a kid, I relaxed a lot and didn’t know life otherwise
- And this only got worse during uni because I was a full time student with a part time job & it was quite hard to juggle those responsibilities because they were ALL URGENT
- And don’t even talk about work… this was when I didn’t even really have time to spare at all
Where does it come from?
- Parents’ fears- for example, fear of you losing your job if you aren’t productive enough or aren’t a “good” employee
- People pleasing- making sure that others are happy with you
- Putting others first- you don’t want to inconvenience others
Mistakes you might be making when relaxing
- Going on technology
- Not taking breaks throughout the day
- Thinking “I can’t rest until…”
- Overplanning
I hope this episode helps to bring some new perspectives on rest and relaxation.
Remember, you’re a human BEING, not a human DOING.
