Respect Rest

Are you allowing yourself to get the rest that you need? If not and you want to shift this I have a song for you. Respect Rest was written to inspire you to rest and let go of any guilt.

I love this song and the human who created it so much. I have the joy of being part of a magical group that meets once a week on zoom. One of the other women in the group creates songs and shares them with other people.

Her songs are designed to shift us into a more mindful state. Music for Mindfulness.

Recently we were talking about rest in this group, and she said something about respecting rest. I said Laura write a song about this. The next week she said, I think you were joking, but I did write a song about rest. I wasn’t joking. I was thrilled when she sang it to us.

She just sent me the recording and I love it so much, I told her I wanted to send it to everyone I knew immediately.

Why? Because who is most often stopping us from getting the rest we need? It’s us, we stop ourselves. So who do we need to negotiate with about actually getting the rest we need? Ourselves.

What’s stopping you from doing this? I sometimes stop myself from resting because I’m pushing to get something done. Sometimes I resist resting because I don’t want to need to rest. It’s silly, but the struggle is real. This song is a great antitode! (Antidotes are agents that negate the effect of a poison or toxin.) What could be more toxic to human flourishing than not resting? Thank you Laura for helping me Respect Rest.
