Living FROM Rest
Rest is not a place to get to; it’s a place to come from. Regardless of which day of the week you designate as your rest day, I’d like you to start seeing it as Day One from which the following six days will be fueled.
Seeing your rest day as the start rather than the end of your week fundamentally shifts it from being a day to crash in exhaustion to a day intentionally designed to support your wellbeing.
Doing Weekly Rest
For much of my adult life I thought a three-hour Sunday afternoon nap was getting the job done; nice try, but no.
What does it look like to “do” Weekly Rest? Today I’m giving you a snapshot of how I intentionally rest each week.
It’s not a standard of “perfect” or the “right way” to do Weekly Rest. It’s an example of what is working really well for me right now.
When Was Your Last Day Off…Really?
There was a time I viewed weekly rest as optional.
Like many leaders, I prioritized getting quality sleep every night, but I was “too busy” to carve out a day for nothing but rest each week—who’s got time for that??
Then a mentor challenged me to experiment with it for a couple of months to see if it made a difference.
Using Intentional
Intentional is not meant to be read; it is meant to be lived. It is not meant for accumulating more conceptual knowledge; it is designed for creating living experiences. The power to bring forth something new in your life through this material lies in your direct experience with each new choice, not in the idea of the new choice alone.
